Bollywood has had a close relationship with Income Tax raids for years. In many films, we have seen Income Tax officers barging into people's homes and offices to conduct searches. Ajay Devgn-starrer Raid, which released on March 16, 2018, is one such film based on a real Income Tax raid, which was conducted in 1981. The raid was conducted on the property of Sardar Inder Singh, a businessman and ex-MP from Kanpur. It is considered the longest Income Tax raid in the history of Independent India. Very sad to hear about the passing away of Pushpa Joshi ji. One of the highlights of my directing career was watching you perform in RAID. You were a live wire on and off the sets. Wherever you are you will be smiling and spreading happiness Dadi ji. We will miss you.
