Raid 2 Inspired By Real Events
Raid 2 follows the legacy of its 2018 predecessor, which was based on a real-life income tax raid. The original film took inspiration from India’s longest-running IT raid. The incident occurred on 16 July 1981 in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
Income tax officers raided the home of businessman and former Congress MLA Sardar Inder Singh. A quiet morning quickly turned into a historic operation, uncovering Rs 16 million (around $180,000) in unaccounted cash and gold. The operation lasted 18 hours and required 45 officials to count the seized money.
