IT raids rocked Tollywood a while ago. While everyone thought the matter subsided, another one has now surfaced. Officials from the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGSTI) on Friday have conducted raids on actress Lavanya Tripathi house for alleged tax evasion. According to sources, the actress, who played roles in several Telugu films, had allegedly evaded GST on a business transaction worth Rs 20 lakh. The raids were carried out on one of her rented houses in Banjara Hills.
“At the time of the raids, Lavanya was away from her residence. In the presence of her staff, the officials had verified the GST payments made by the actress on the purchase of several valuables. It is reported that she had evaded tax worth of `20 lakh, but details are yet to be verified,” said officials.
