The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a raid today at a property linked to Malayalam superstar Mammootty, located on Greenways Road, Chennai.

The operation, involving eight ED officers accompanied by CRPF personnel, targeted the premises of Wayfare Films — a production company associated with the actor.

This comes while the ED’s Kochi Zonal Office carried out raids at 17 locations across Kerala and Tamil Nadu in connection with an ongoing investigation into the smuggling of high-end luxury vehicles and unauthorised foreign exchange dealings.

The searches span residences and business establishments of several prominent film personalities including actors Prithviraj Sukumaran, Dulquer Salmaan, and Amith Chakalakkal, along with vehicle owners, auto workshops, and traders based in Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kozhikode, Malappuram, Kottayam, and Coimbatore.

Preliminary findings point to a Coimbatore-based network that allegedly used forged documents, claiming ties to the Indian Army, US Embassy, and Ministry of External Affairs, to obtain fraudulent vehicle registrations in states like Arunachal Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. These luxury vehicles were then sold at significantly undervalued prices to high-net-worth individuals, including film celebrities.
