The CBDT on Saturday alleged that actor Sonu Sood and his associates evaded tax of `20 crore and claimed that after the Income Tax Department raided him and a linked Lucknow-based infrastructure group, it was found that he routed his “unaccounted income in the form of bogus unsecured loans from many bogus entities”.
It also accused Sood of violating the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) while raising donations from abroad.
It had launched searches against the 48-year-old actor and the Lucknow-based group of industries involved in the infrastructure sector on September 15 and the CBDT said the action was continuing.
