And seriously you never know what that money was meant for?
a) it could be either avoiding tax, black money which is common in film Industry (Max possibility)
b) Funding terrorist, less possibility but it is one.

The matter is serious and needs investigation, India has all right to investigate on something which can have connection to terrorist.

$124000 to be exact

For the uninitiated, $124,000 = INR 5704000 = Pakistani Rupee 10609440

He can easily earn that from few shows and concerts.. but he made a mistake by not declaring it. Simple yet a big mistake..

'Can' is a very generic term Benny.

We need to be careful. We need to check everything thoroughly.

A lot of payment in film Industry is done in form of Black Money. I don't understand sometimes, when people have so much money why they don't want to pay taxes? Katrina, Priyanka was recently raided by IT Sleuths.

According to the Boss of the DRI investigating the matter; the distribution was USD 24,000 in Rahat's luggage and USD 50,000 each with two of his associates.
$ 24,000 in $ 100 bills is not such a big bundle. About half a briefcase worth.
