Actor Kangana Ranaut has once again launched a scathing attack on Taapsee after the Badla star broke her silence on the I-T raids on her property with a couple of tweets. The former beauty queen also cracked a joke at how she is 'not so sasti (cheap) anymore', an insult often thrown at her by Kangana. Kangana then responded to her tweet, saying that her image in her eyes has not changed. "You will always remain sasti because you are sab rapists ka feminist... your ring master (Anurag) Kashyap was raided in 2013 as well for tax chori... government official’s report is out if you aren’t guilty go to court against them come clean on this ... come on sasti," she wrote. In another tweet, she also called Taapsee a 'monkey pulling off cheap tricks.' "But her alleged rapist ring master was raided in 2013, FM clearly referred to him,entire Phantom and Kwan gang who were accused of multiple rapes and molestations by hundreds of women were also raided but still only this monkey doing sasta Tamasha... where are the ring masters," she wrote.
In her tweets, Taapsee wrote, "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. 2. The 'alleged' receipt worth 5 crores to frame n keep for future pitching coz I’ve been refused that money before 3. My memory of 2013 raid that happened with me according to our honourable finance minister P.S- 'not so sasti',” anymore."Reportedly, after the raids that were carried out this week at Taapsee Pannu and Anurag Kashyap's properties, the Income Tax officials submitted their report including the alleged discrepancies. When Taapsee's boyfriend, Mathias Boe reacted to the news, Minister Kiren Rijiju asked him to focus on his profession and let the 'law of the land' prevail. Meanwhile, on Friday finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman commented on the matter and said that the same people were raided back in 2013 as well but no issues were made out back then as it’s happening now." Answer it for the hypocrisy or answer it, saying from then this is happening till now, what's the matter. In the national interest, do we want to know if there is some evasion happening” she added. The Income Tax Department on March 3 began raids on the homes and offices of Pannu and Kashyap as well as his partners, who launched the now-shuttered production house Phantom Films. The searches, part of a tax evasion probe against Phantom Films, carried out across 30 locations in Mumbai and Pune, also covered Reliance Entertainment group CEO Shibhasish Sarkar and some executives of celebrity and talent management companies KWAN and Exceed.
