Shah Rukh Khan's Alibaug farmhouse attached by IT department under Benami transactions
New Delhi/Mumbai, Jan 31 (IBNS): The Income Tax Department has attached Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's farmhouse in Alibaug, a coastal town in south Mumbai, under the new Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amended Act, 2016, media reports said.
The report said Khan through a Deja Vu Farms had applied to buy the agricultural land for farming but later turned into a bunglow for personal use.
The tax authority told The Indian Express that the case falls into the benami transaction under Section 2(9) of the Act.
The authority even alleged that the Deja Vu Farms has acted as a benamidar of Khan.
Under the new act passed in 2016, a benami transaction states that any property is transferred to another through payments.
Khan even threw a birthday bash with several Bollywood stars in Alibaug last year.
