Sonu Sood issued a heartfelt statement after the I-T survey at his properties and said that he was “busy attending few guests” and he was “back again” at people’s service. Sood’s statement comes 4 days after the Income Tax department launched a ‘survey’ at several properties associated to him.

Earlier last week, the Income Tax body also claimed that it found Sood to be in violation of FCRA and that he evaded taxes worth Rs. 20 crores.

It should be noted that Sood’s statement did not touch upon the I-T department’s allegations of tax evasion against him.
