By Felo News Desk · Published
The Mumbai Income Tax Department has conducted searches at 12 locations in Mumbai that are linked to Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh, film producer Vashu Bhagnani and Panorama Studios. The raids, carried out by teams from the department, focused on documents, financial records and details of alleged overseas transactions that may have been routed under the guise of film financing.
Rakul Preet Singh, who is married to actor‑producer Jackky Bhagnani – the son of Vashu Bhagnani – is one of the individuals mentioned in the searches. The Bhagnani family runs Pooja Entertainment, while Panorama Studios is headed by producer Kumar Mangat Pathak and has produced films such as the ‘Drishyam’ franchise.
Officials are examining whether funds were moved overseas as part of film‑project financing. The investigation is ongoing and the exact nature of the suspected irregularities has not been disclosed. The department will review the records collected before deciding whether any tax or financial violations occurred.
Separate from the current investigation, a drug‑related case involving Rakul Preet Singh’s brother Aman Preet Singh in 2025 has been reported. That case, which involved the seizure of cocaine and MDMA, has no established connection to the present income‑tax searches.
