Mammootty, Dulquer Salman raided by ED in Kerala luxury cars smuggling case

ED officers, backed by Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel, carried out searches at Wayfarer Films Private Limited, a production company owned by Mammootty in Chennai. Simultaneous searches were conducted at three houses associated with actor Dulquer Salmaan.

The raids are part of a larger crackdown on an alleged network that illegally imported high-end vehicles through Bhutan and Nepal and fraudulently registered them in India. In all, 17 locations - including properties of vehicle dealers, workshops, and owners - across Kerala and Tamil Nadu were covered in the operation.

Earlier in the day, ED officials also raided premises linked to actors Prithviraj Sukumaran, Dulquer Salmaan and Amit Chakkalackal in Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kozhikode, Malappuram, Kottayam, and Coimbatore.
