After this, the details were also sent by Phantom Films, but the Income Tax Department was not satisfied with this. For this reason, the Income Tax Department on Wednesday raided 22 locations in Mumbai and Pune of Anurag Kashyap, Vikas Bahl, Madhu Mantena, Taapsee Pannu, and others. On Wednesday, the Income Tax team questioned Anurag Kashyap and Taapsee Pannu for 6 hours. On Thursday, the Income Tax team is conducting a raid in an office in Andheri area.
