'You don't have to tell your side of story. Time will', says Sonu Sood

Bollywood actor Sonu Sood's six properties were raided for three days in a row by the Income Tax department, which has accused him of evading taxes worth over Rs 20 crore.

The Income Tax Department claims that Sonu Sood has accumulated funds of Rs 20 crore through crowdfunding. 

Apart from this, he has raised Rs 65 crore through fake contracts and has made circular and suspicious transactions of Rs 175 crore. 

Sonu Sood's cash has also been recovered from him. 

Also many such documents have been recovered which are also pointing towards tax evasion. Investigation of the Income by Tax Department is still going on.

Sonu Sood, speaking for the first time since tax raids last week and allegations of tax evasion, said in a message today that, 

 'every rupee in my foundation was awaiting its turn to save a life'.

He also took a swipe at the Income Tax department, commenting that he had been 

'busy attending to guests'.

"You don't always have to tell your side of the story. Time will," 

the actor said in a statement he tweeted along with a couplet in Hindu, loosely translated as 

"even the most difficult path can seem easy with the goodwill of every Indian". 

He also shared the same statment on his Instagram handle the actor wrote,

"Every rupee in my foundation is awaiting its turn to save a precious life and reach the needy. In addition, on many occasions, I have encouraged brands to donate my endorsement fees for humanitarian causes too, which keeps us going".
