Under Operation Numkhor, Customs has returned one of the vehicles seized from actor Amit Chakkalakkal—a Madhya Pradesh-registered Toyota Land Cruiser. The vehicle was released on the basis of a bond and a 20% bank guarantee, with strict conditions: it cannot be used or taken outside Kerala.
Earlier, actor Dulquer Salmaan’s vehicle was also released under similar terms.
Meanwhile, Customs continues to investigate intermediaries involved in allegedly smuggling vehicles from Bhutan to Kerala using forged documents. The Enforcement Directorate has also initiated a parallel probe. Notices had previously been issued to Amit Chakkalakkal and Dulquer Salmaan regarding the case.
