“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 “supposed” receipt worth 5 million rupees to frame and save 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 Minister of Finance, PS- “not so sasti” ever again. “He said on Twitter.

Previously, Taapsee’s boyfriend and badminton player Mathias Boe asked Union Minister Kiren Rijiju for help, saying his parents were stressed out by the TI raids. However, the union minister asked him to stick to his professional duties.
“The law of the land is supreme and we must comply with it. The subject is beyond yours and my domain. We must stick to our professional duties in the best interest of Indian Sports, ”Rijiju said on Twitter.
Meanwhile, on Friday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman commented on the matter, saying that the same people were also raided in 2013, but that no problems were raised then as is happening now.
“Answer for the hypocrisy or answer, saying that since then this is happening until now, what happens. In the national interest, we want to know if there is any evasion ”, he added.
The Income Tax Department began raids on the homes and offices of Pannu and Kashyap on March 3, as well as their partners, who launched the now-closed production house Phantom Films.
The searches, part of a tax evasion investigation against Phantom Films, carried out at 30 locations in Mumbai and Pune, also covered Reliance Entertainment Group CEO Shibhasish Sarkar, and some executives from talent management companies and celebrities KWAN and Exceed.
