    Income Tax raids at Taapsee Pannu, Anurag Kashyap's properties
  • On Wednesday, the Income Tax Department carried out searches at properties of filmmakers Anurag Kashyap, Vikas Bahl, Madhu Mantena, and actress Taapsee Pannu.

    The raids were carried out in connection to Phantom Films, which was dissolved in 2018, reports HT.

    Searches were underway at other properties, including those of Shibhashish Sarkar (CEO Reliance Entertainment), Afsar Zaidi (CEO Exceed), and others.

    Charges of tax evasion have been leveled

  • The now-dissolved firm has been accused of tax evasion. The firm was formed in 2011 and in 2015, Reliance Entertainment had bought a 50% stake in it.

    Talking about the ongoing raids, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said that "the agencies only go after those against whom they have credible information."

    "The issue goes to court later," the Bharatiya Janata Party leader (BJP) said.

  • Buying shares

    Mantena purchased his friends' shares to revive the company

  • As per HT, Mantena had earlier this year purchased Kashyap, Motwane, and Bahl's shares, hoping to revive their brainchild.

    Confirming that raids took place, an I-T official told Indian Express, "There have been instances of tax evasion. The movies produced by the production house have been superhit, but the profits and account statements of the company are showing disproportionately low income."

  • The raids caught the attention of noted lawyer Prashant Bhushan, a known critic of the central government.

    " BJP'S A team at work to harass, intimidate & silence those who don't fall in line. India has never seen such malafide use of IT dept, ED, NIA, police etc, (sic)" he tweeted today.

    The development was also slammed by Maharashtra Minister Ashok Chavan.

  • Another politician who linked the raids to Kashyap and Pannu's outspoken nature was Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik.

    "The way in which raids were conducted in the homes and offices of Anurag Kashyap and Tapasee Pannu, this is definitely the usage of Enforcement Directorate or the Income Tax against those who take a stand against the government or its policies, (sic)" he said.
