According to media reports, Income Tax officials are carrying out searches at properties of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, actor Taapsee Pannu in Mumbai over alleged tax evasion. Searches are being conducted at nearly 20 locations in Mumbai and Pune.
Anurag Kashyap and Taapsee Pannu, on multiple occasions, have spoken out on various national issues. Ms Pannu had recently criticised the show of solidarity by the big stars towards the government in response to pop star Rihanna’s post drawing attention to the farmers’ agitation. Being a vocal supporter of farmers’ agitation, the actress had taken a jibe at the government’s campaign and said one should focus on strengthening the system.
“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,” Ms Pannu had said in her tweet after scores of celebrities tweeted in support of the government.
Anurag Kashyap has been a vocal critic of the BJP government and has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah on several occasions. Both artists had also participated in a protest in Mumbai last year after masked goons attacked JNU students in Delhi.
