Mumbai: The Income Tax Department has ‘surveyed’ Bollywood actor Sonu Sood’s house in Mumbai. According to a report in ANI, the investigation wing of I-T Department has surveyed six places including the offices and home belonging to Sonu Sood.

He posted a tweet that read, "There are millions of difficulties on the path of truth, but the truth always manages to win. Son Sood has prayers of lakhs of families of India who got his support in difficult times."
Many AAP leaders also extended support to Sood on social media.
Last month, Sonu remained in headlines after rumours of him contesting elections surfaced on the internet. He shared a tweet to refute the speculations about his political debut.
Sonu Sood emerged as a messiah for the migrant workers during last year’s COVID-19 lockdown. He received praises from all the corners for his humanitarian work amid the Coronavirus crisis in India.
The ‘Dabangg’ star actively helped the people during the peak of the second wave of COVID in India. From providing medical aid to arranging oxygen cylinders, he worked round the clock to serve the people, who were affected by the pandemic.
