Probe ordered against Mohanlal for possessing ivory

October 16, 2016

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 16: A vigilance court on Saturday ordered a quick verification on a complaint that Malayalam actor Mohanlal is in illegal possession of elephant tusks.

mohanlal The complaint traces back to an Income Tax department raid in 2011 on the actor’s home in Kochi, during which four tusks were recovered and later seized by the forest department.

The tusks, however, were returned to Mohanlal after the department gave the actor, the first respondent in the case, time to declare its possession before the authorised officials.

Former minister for forests Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan and forest department officials are among the respondents in the case.

The court, acting on a complaint by activist A Poulose, directed the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau to submit a report by November 28.

The complainant had earlier approached the Kerala High Court seeking a CBI probe in the case, which he claimed was derailed by officials to favour the actor.

Mohanlal, for his part, has stated that he purchased the tusks from two of his friends and also produced the documents of ownership.

The petitioner, however, maintained that handing over or purchasing tusks was illegal and proceedings in the case were influenced by the actor’s stature.

In March, the high court had closed proceedings against Mohanlal on another petition filed by the All Kerala Anti-Corruption and Human Rights Protection Council. The court stated that possession of the tusks was legalised by a government order.

News Network

February 5,2020

Chennai, Feb 5: The popular cine actor Rajinikanth has defended the Union Government on the Citizenship Amendment Act, saying it will not affect the Indian Muslims.

In a brief interaction with reporters this morning in Chennai, the matinee idol said if the Muslims are affected by the CAA, he would be at the forefront in their defence. He asked how will the legislation affect the Indian Muslims when they chose to stay back in the country to make it their motherland. Mr Rajinikanth also supported the National Population Register saying it has been in force even in the past.

On the NRC, Mr Rajinikanth said the Government has already made it clear that its nationwide rollout has not been even discussed so far. Mr Rajinikanth is nourishing political ambitions and has made it clear that he would plunge into politics ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections in the state which is due in 2021.

Comments

This law violates the fundamentals of the Indian constitution. Whey they are seeing the Muslims angle first?

It looks that they are misinforming the public by diverting into a Muslim only issue. If that was the case, why so many non-Muslims are protesting? I looks like Rajini has back-end support to the center's CAA move.

He is another crack, hamare desh main pagal logon ki kami nahi

What can expect from ex KSRTC bus conductor

clear sign of ZERO knowedge with Indian constitution.
