Prof K Nageshwar: IT Raids for supporting farmers (Video)

IT || IT Raids for supporting farmers || The Income Tax Department's investigation unit on Wednesday conducted searches at premises linked to Bollywood actor Taapsee Pannu and film director Anurag Kashyap in Mumbai. "The Income Tax department probes someone based on whatever information they get. The issue goes to court later," Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar said during a BJP briefing today. The searches are part of a tax evasion probe and conducted at about 30 locations in Mumbai and Pune, as per reports. Some executives of celebrity and talent management company KWAN are also being raided. The action is part of a tax evasion probe against Phantom Films, which was dissolved in 2018, and its then promoters Kashyap, director-producer Vikramaditya Motwane, producer Vikas Bahl and producer-distributor Madhu Mantena, the report said. Tax department sources said some inter-linked transactions between the entities searched are under the scanner of the department. The raids, they added, are aimed at gathering more evidence to further probe tax evasion allegations against them. The business transactions of films made under the banner of Phantom Films are also being probed, the sources said. The searches against Mantena are being carried out in context of his links with KWAN, of which he is a co-promoter. https://www.livemint.com/news/india/income-tax-raids-underway-at-properties-of-tapsee-pannu-anurag-kashyap-11614756683041.html
