Hello
How did Kerala catch all the accused in the ivory case that shocked the state before the CBI came into play?
Three natives of Karnataka had brought the tusk to Mananthavadi to sell it in Kerala.
Four elephant tusks were seized from the actor's house in a raid conducted by the Income Tax authorities in June 2011 and a case was registered against him.
The Judicial First Class Magistrate Court has asked the actor to appear in person for trial.
The case relates to the alleged illegal possession of ivory ba the actor, due to which he was charged under the provisions of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Mohanlal denied the allegation and claimed that he had obtained it legally.
The culprits were trapped after fixing a deal for Rs 25 lakh
The actor's petition challenges a Perumbavoor magistrate court's ruling that dismissed the state government's clean chit.
It was found that Monson had sold this kind of fake ivory piece for Rs.50 lakh to his customers though the product originally cost only Rs.10,000.
A forest department raid on his Kaloor house the other day revealed the elephant tusks in his possession are fake and made of some unknown material.
The hunters rely on trains for smuggling the tusk. Cabins under the seats of railway staff is a safe place.
