Sonu Sood was recently under criticism when Income Tax officers raided his home and discovered a tax evasion of Rs 20 crore. According to reports, the actor was accused of breaching the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act while soliciting donations from abroad. The I-T department further said that the actor received Rs 19 crore through his charitable foundation but only spent Rs 2 crore.
In response to the claims, Sonu Sood published a message on social media, stating that he will utilize “every rupee from his foundation” to help the poor. He claimed that he had been busy for the last four days attending to “guests,” implying the IT authorities, and that he was now ready to serve everyone.
“You don’t have to explain your side of the story all of the time. Time will tell. I have vowed to devote my entire power and heart to serving the people of India. Every penny in my foundation is ready to save a life and help those who are in need. In addition, I have persuaded businesses to contribute my endorsement money to humanitarian organizations on several occasions, which helps to keep us running. For the past four days, I have been unable to serve you since I have been busy with a few visitors. I’m back in complete humility this time. For the rest of my life, I will be at your obedient service. Sonu Sood has said, “My path continues.”
“The actor’s principal modus operandi had been to channel his undeclared revenue in the guise of fake unsecured loans from fictitious entities,” the article claimed, citing I-T authorities. Probes have discovered the usage of 20 such entries, the suppliers of which have admitted to giving fake accommodation entries under oath when questioned. They’ve agreed to take checks instead of cash.”
