The Badshah of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan is currently in the crosshairs of the Modi-Shah government these days, although he is giving out the message of unconcern, being seen mostly playing football with inseparable soul-mate Sanjay Passi at the St James Park in London’s top address, the Hyde Park neighbourhood. Though he is being trolled in the social media over the so-called attachment of his prime Alibaug farm house last week, his confidants say that the fact it that the Income Tax Department has merely sent a ‘provisional attachment’ order. Besides, they quickly point out that the property is in the names of Shahrukh’s wife Gauri and his in-laws, as well as his brother-in-law.
His friends have also questioned how come the Income Tax Department is raising the issue of change in land use pattern, stating that farmhouse stands on a piece of agricultural land. The Badshah’s legal team say that the issue of land use pattern is a state matter, so how is the I-T Dept concerned with that? Besides, they have pointed out that the Alibaug area where Shahrukh’s farm house is located also is home to farmhouses of many top BJP leaders, but why is the I-T department silent on them? Shahrukh had apparently met the PM during the latter’s Davos show-up, and it is learnt that the latter was full of praises for the PM. But it is learnt that the bouquet of praises had been preceded by some soft brickbats between the two already.
