NEW DELHI: The Indian authorities are looking into “deeply troubling” information about US governmental activity in the country, New Delhi said on Feb 21, after President Donald Trump suggested that a US government agency had spent money trying to influence Indian elections.

The Indian foreign ministry comment comes two days after Trump cited information released by the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), which is led by Elon Musk, showing that the United States Agency for International Development (USAid) had spent US$21 million (S$28 million) on “voter turnout” in India.
