The forest department has registered a case
against popular actor Mohanlal before the Perumbavur Judicial
Magistrate, under the Wildlife protection Act 1972, for "illegal
possession of ivory at his house."
A first information report has been filed at the
Judicial First Class Magistrate court, Perumbavur, by the Forest
officials. Ivory was seized from the residence of the actor in a raid
conducted by the Income Tax officials in 2011.
It was in July last year that the IT department
officials searched the houses of actors Mammootty and Mohanlal. The
operation also spread to other cities where the two had houses and
business interests.
Meanwhile, PN Krishnakumar and N Krishnakumar, second
and third accused respectively, have stated they had obtained
permission from wildlife authorities for the possession of ivory which
was later handed over to Mohanlal for safe custody as they were employed
abroad.
