India, Sept. 24 -- Customs officials raided the homes of actors Prithviraj Sukumaran and Dulquer Salmaan in Kerala as part of a nationwide probe into luxury vehicle smuggling from Bhutan. The operation, code-named Numkoor (meaning 'vehicle' in Bhutanese), targets a network involved in illegal imports and tax evasion. The raids took place on Tuesday at Prithviraj's Thevara home and Dulquer's Panampilly Nagar residence. Authorities also searched Prithviraj's Thiruvananthapuram house but found no suspicious vehicles. In total, around 30 locations across Kerala, including Kochi, Kozhikode, and Malappuram, are being searched in the operation, according to a report in The Week. According to sources, the investigation began after intelligence revealed that decommissioned Bhutan Army vehicles, sold cheaply at auction, were being smuggled into India without paying customs duties. These luxury vehicles were then moved to Himachal Pradesh, registered with temporary addresses, and sold at inflated prices to prominent buyers, including actors and business figures. The operation is being coordinated under the supervision of the Commissioner for Kerala and Lakshadweep. Alongside the actors, authorities are inspecting the homes of businessmen in Kalamassery and car dealerships in Malappuram and Kozhikode. Officials continue to carry out searches, with further developments expected as the investigation progresses.htc...
