Amitabh Bachchan may have claimed he had no knowledge about the four shipping companies listed in his name by a Panama law firm, but documents released by the Indian Express show that he took part in the board meetings via telephone.
The actor had issued a statement to the media on April 5. The Indian Express responded with its latest expose on him:
