Income tax department officials ‘surveyed’ around six properties in Mumbai and Lucknow, which are all linked to Bollywood actor Sonu Sood on Wednesday.
Officials confirmed that the visit of the I-T officials, which was not termed as raid, was made in connection with an alleged tax evasion probe.
Reports said that a real estate deal is under the scanner of the income tax department.
The I-T survey has been reported soon after Sood became the brand ambassador of the Delhi government’s mentorship programme.
He received a national and humanitarian acclaim for helping people during the pandemic.
Sonu Sood and his Bollywood Connect
Sonu Sood is a well-known Bollywood star, however, since last one year, he garnered the image of a messiah who helped lakhs of migrants, students and others to reach out to their destination when lockdown was clamped in India in 2020 to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Let’s figure out why Sood is considered as a real life hero:
In May 2020, Sood helped thousands of stranded migrants to reach their homes by arranging buses, special trains and chartered flights for them during the lockdown clamped in the city due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In July 2020, he arranged a chartered flight to bring home over 1,500 Indian students stranded in Kyrgyzstan, flying them from Bishkek to Varanasi.
On 25 July 2020, a video of a farmer’s daughters ploughing a field, like bulls with a yoke on their shoulders, went viral over social media and Sood was quick to send the family a tractor.
His charity during the pandemic was lauded, and he was hailed as a real-life hero in India.
On 5 August 2020, he helped 101 medical students, predominantly from Tamil Nadu, who were stranded in Moscow during the lockdown, reach Chennai safely on a chartered flight arranged by him after they contacted his team for help.
On his birthday he launched a website and app called Pravasi Rojgar to help migrant workers find suitable jobs amid the pandemic.
On 19 February 2021, Sood launched an initiative ‘Ilaaj India’ platform to provide healthcare services for needy people.
On April 15, Sood sent 10 oxygen generators for Indore patients and urged all to help each other.
NASA awards billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’ SpaceX a $2.9 billion contract to build a spacecraft
Astronauts can now be brought to the moon as early as 2024 as NASA awarded billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s private space company SpaceX a $2.9 billion contract to build a spacecraft.

“In addition, NASA is requiring a test flight to check out all systems with a landing on the lunar surface prior to our formal demonstration mission,” NASA official Lisa Watson-Morgan said.
Kiran Bedi, born on June 9, 1949 in Amritsar, has set many firsts in the India story to bring in a change.
She is the first Indian woman to join the Indian Police Service (IPS) defying the set norms of the society and became the first officer to introduce prison reforms in India
Bedi was the second of four daughters who was given an equal opportunity for higher studies without any bias from her family members.
She pursued an undergraduate degree in English (1968), a masters’ degree in political science, a law degree and a PhD in social science (1993) while focussing on drug abuse and domestic violence.
She joined the IPS in year 1972 and served a variety of roles, including narcotics officer, antiterrorist specialist, and administrator.
She received laurels for the work she did as inspector general of prisons, beginning in 1994, reshaping one of the largest prisons in the world—the Tihar prison complex, in Delhi—by addressing the corruption and human right abuses she found there.
In 2003, Bedi became the first woman and the first Indian to be appointed United Nations civilian police adviser. She was the recipient of numerous awards in India and abroad and is also an accomplished tennis player who won several Asian championships.
