However, officials of the I-T department remained tightlipped on the searches at the premises of Phantom Films. According to another I-T department official, the searches are going on at the premises of these Bollywood personalities in connection with some "tax evasion" matter.

Kashyap, Bahl and Pannu have been vocal on the social media platforms and have also raised their concern over the farmers' protest, which have been going at the borders of the national capital since November 26 last year against the three farm laws.
