IT Raids
IT dept raids residences of Anurag Kashyap, Taapsee Pannu, Vikas Bahl
Mumbai/IBNS: The Income Tax department Wednesday reportedly raided the residences of filmmakers Anurag Kashyap, Vikash Bahl and leading Bollywood actor Taapsee Pannu.
The raids have been conducted in connection with Kashyap's production house Phantom Films.
Parallel raids have been conducted in 20 other locations apart from the residences of the film personalities in Mumbai and Pune, Times Now reported.
Pannu, a critic of the Narendra Modi government, has recently slammed the film and sports personalities for equivocally standing up to an alleged foreign propaganda over the ongoing farmers' protests.
"If one tweet rattles your unity, one joke rattles your faith or one show rattles your religious belief, then it's you who has to work on strengthening your value system not become propaganda teachers for others," the actor had tweeted after the celebrities had opposed the support to the farmers' protests by pop star Rihanna and teen climate activist Greta Thunberg.
Pannu and Kashyap were also seen together at the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests in late 2019 and early 2020.
