Income Tax (IT) officials conducted a search operation at the upscale Bastian pub, co-owned by Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, located on Church Street in Bengaluru. This Shilpa Shetty Bengaluru pub raid involved officials from the Bengaluru Income Tax Department scrutinizing one of the city’s most premium nightlife destinations, with an FIR also reported to have been registered.
The Shilpa Shetty Bengaluru pub raid saw officials examining financial records, transaction details, and related documents as part of the operation. Sources indicate that the raid continued for several hours, though the precise reason has not been officially disclosed by the department.
It remains uncertain whether the Shilpa Shetty Bengaluru pub raid is connected to past investigations involving Shilpa Shetty and her husband, businessman Raj Kundra, or if it pertains solely to the pub’s business operations and tax compliance. Bastian is a luxury venue frequented by celebrities, making it a prominent name in the city’s hospitality scene.
According to reports, officials have stated that further clarity will emerge once the verification of seized documents and records is completed.
