News agency ANI quoted Rajiv Rai as saying, ‘This is the Income Tax Department. I do not have any criminal background nor do I have any black money. I help people and the government did not like it. This is the result of that. Whatever you do, they will make a video, file an FIR, do unnecessary cases. There is no use, let the process be completed.’
