The Income Tax department raided 22 places in Mumbai and Pune yesterday in connection with the players. In response, Thapsi took to Twitter. In three tweets, Thapsi mocked the raid.
Thapsi’s tweets begin by saying, “Three days of rigorous search in search of three things.” The actress then mocks the Revenue Department’s raid by saying three things.
3 days of intense search of 3 things primarily
1. The keys of the “alleged” bungalow that I apparently own in Paris. Because summer holidays are around the corner– taapsee pan (@taapsee) March 6, 2021
“1. The key to the bungalow I’m supposed to have in Paris, because summer vacation is coming.”
2. Receipt of Rs. 5 crore which I am said to have received for harassing me and for future allegations.
3. According to our esteemed Minister of Finance, my recollection of the 2013 raid.
2. The “alleged” receipt worth 5 crores to frame n keep for future pitching coz I’ve been refused that money before 😡

Thapsi says he does not have a bungalow in his name in Paris, he has not received a receipt of Rs 5 crore and there was no raid in 2013. Anurag Kashyap has also been active on social media since the raid. Anurag Kashyap’s tweet sharing a picture with Thapsi.
Anurag Kashyap and Thapsi Pannu were the ones who constantly reacted against the central government, including the farmers’ strike. Actress Swara Bhaskar and director Anubhav Sinha came on stage to support the duo.
3. My memory of 2013 raid that happened with me according to our honourable finance minister 🙏🏼

Sinha tweeted that she loves Thapsi and Anurag Kashyap. Swara Bhaskar tweeted that Thapsi Pannu is an amazing girl with rare courage and conviction these days. Swapri addressed Thapsi as a warrior.
However, the Income Tax Department explained that the raid was carried out in a tax evasion case. Multiple teams of the agency raided about 22 centers in Mumbai and elsewhere.
