Thiruvananthapuram, Sep 24
A day after a joint raid conducted by the DRI and Customs officials into the luxury car smuggling racket through its 'Operation Numkhor', which exposed tax evasion worth crores through illegal imports routed via Bhutan, the Enforcement Directorate is mulling joining the probe.
On Tuesday, the raid confiscated about 36 cars from various people, including Mammootty's actor son Dulquer Salman, upcoming actor Amit Chakalackal and others.
Salman and Chackalackal's vehicles were seized. Even though the raid team reached Prithviraj's home, they were unable to go further. However, the probe team is likely to serve a notice to Prithviraj.
Meanwhile, Customs is preparing to share details with the Ministry of External Affairs, as forged embassy documents are suspected to have been used in registering some vehicles.
