Not too long ago, the Pakistani media was abuzz with the news that showbiz celebrities did not or under-declared their assets.

In India, the authorities are very strict on the subject. Take the very recent examples of raids on actors Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood and singer Sonu Nigam’s houses. The personnel belonging to the income tax department on the morning of Dec 7 barged into their homes and inquired about their tax returns and asset declarations. Till last repots poured in, things were not clear as to what kind of response the men from tinsel town came up with.
