Actor Taapsee Pannu has first tweeted after the Income Tax Department began raiding entities connected to her and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, as well as her partners at Phantom Films production company. The raids began on March 3.
On Twitter, the actor wrote: “3 days of intense search for 3 things mainly. 1. The keys to the “supposed” bungalow that I apparently own in Paris. Because summer vacation is just around the corner. 2. The “alleged” receipt worth 5 million rupees to frame and keep for future presentations because I have been denied that money before 😡 3. My memory of the 2013 raid that happened to me according to our honorable finance minister 🙏🏼 “.
The series of tweets came after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Friday that the same people were also raided in 2013, but did not provoke a protest as in the present case. Political leaders and celebrities had responded to the TI raids, including Rahul Gandhi, RJD and Shiv Sena.
“First of all, I am not commenting on any individual A or B. (But) since the names were taken, (I mean) the same names were raided in 2013,” the minister said in a media interaction, adding that “it was not a problem (in 2013). It’s a problem now. “

Taapsee’s boyfriend, Mathias Boe, also tweeted in this regard on Friday, addressing Union Minister Kiren Rijiju. “I am in a bit of confusion. Representing Flag of India for the first time as a coach to some great athletes, meanwhile, the IT department is raiding Taapsee’s homes at home, putting unnecessary stress on her family, especially her parents. @KirenRijiju please do something ”, he had written. In a short reply, the minister had advised him to concentrate on his “professional duties”, as the matter is not his domain.
