The income tax raids happen generally in confidential mode. It is so secretive that many of those involved in the raids are unaware of the target until the last minute.
Moreover, after the raids, there are no official announcements, leaving many in the dark about the outcomes for several days. They do not disclose whether any cash was found or not. Only the two groups involved know the facts. But the gossips don't stop.
It has been five days since the income tax raids began on Mythri Movies, and they are still ongoing.
Reports suggest that the offices of producers Naveen Erneni, Ravi Shankar, director Sukumar, several employees, financiers, and Mumbai companies associated with these three have been searched and are still under surveillance.
There is a rumor that director Sukumar's cash transactions are higher than usual, and another rumor is that the loans brought by the Mythri company from abroad may be violating RBI rules. Amidst all this, an interesting gossip is circulating in the industry.
According to the rumors, the owners of Mythri did not delete their respective WhatsApp chats. It is common for people to delete their chats regularly, except for the important ones, which they mark with a star or keep from being deleted.
However, it is rumored that the Mythri heads kept all their chats, containing information about their money transations with heroes. Especially when the money is sent through a legitimate route, people do not save it in chat.
For reference sake and confirmation, they keep the chats regarding the cash transactions and the amounts received through grey routes if any.
The most significant rumor is that the authorities have found all such chats. If this is true and the IT authorities take it seriously, it could impact the heroes as well.
It appears that these raids will end today. There are reports that statements are being taken from everyone, and it may soon be over, bringing some clarity tomorrow.
