The raids are being conducted at around 20 places both in Mumbai and Pune on the allegations of tax evasion. As reported by NDTV, all of these places are related to the people of Bollywood. The I-T department further intends to send notices to all the people involved in the searches.

Neither Kashyap nor Pannu has spoken out on the matter yet. Both the filmmaker and the actor have been immensely critical of the Central government, especially on social media. Taapsee and Anurag have launched many tweets in the past, speaking for the farmers protesting against the contentious Farm Laws, and also supporting those who have been on the receiving end of the government’s policies and decisions.
