WiliLeaks4India flaunts a similar name which created an impression that it was associated with WikiLeaks. The clarification from the global transparency watchdog came after several people approached it asking if WikiLeaks4India was associated with WikiLeaks.

Wikileaks4India claims to be a "non- profit" investigative media website. It had on Monday released a sting operation alleging that beef was being served in five star hotels of Delhi. The release of the sting operation led to filing of police complaint protests by hardline Hindu groups.

Several attempt by this correspondent to reach out to WikiLeaks4India for its response to WikiLeaks claim, on its landline numbers went unanswered.
