From the NCB filing a charge sheet in connection to their big drugs case to the IT department claiming to have proof of tax evasion by Taapsee Pannu and Anurag Kashyap, and Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan’s birthday, here’s everything you need to know.

The IT department has claimed to have found evidence of cash receipts and tax evasion by Taapsee Pannu, her company, director Anurag Kashyap and others during the recent raids carried out on their properties. The department mentioned “discrepancies” in deals worth Rs 300 crore which was linked to the now-dissolved production house, partly owned by Kashyap.

Kangana Ranaut, who is known for voicing her opinions on social media, has also reacted to the IT raids. Reacting to the news, she said, “They are not just #TaxChor huge transactions of black money has happened…” she claimed while going on to make all sorts of allegations but unlike her other tweet on her mysterious jilted obsessed lover, she didn’t mind making claims without proof this time around.

The NCB stepped up with their charge sheet pertaining to the drug case that emerged out of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. The Bureau chief Sameer Wankhede confirmed to ETimes that the charge sheet has been filed. When asked if Rhea Chakraborty is the main accused, he said, “There are 33 people on the list and all of them are accused, besides, there are others too against whom the investigation is still going on.”
