Dulquer Salmaan questioned for hours in luxury SUV probe

Malayalam heartthrob Dulquer Salmaan, known for his versatility on screen and his keen interest in premium automobiles, is in the headlines for his involvement in the ongoing Operation Numkhor investigation. Customs authorities reportedly interrogated the actor for almost seven hours regarding four luxury SUVs linked to him that have been seized as part of a high-profile smuggling case.

Dulquer, who has consistently impressed fans with recent hits and currently awaits the release of his upcoming film I'm Game, found himself at the centre of this probe due to his celebrated collection of high-end vehicles. The case, which has drawn intense public attention in Kerala since last year, is investigating whether luxury vehicles were imported illegally via Bhutan using forged paperwork to dodge customs duties. According to reports, Dulquer has stated that he "purchased the vehicles through legal channels and was unaware of any irregularities."

The actor’s passion for luxury cars is no secret in the industry, but this time it has unexpectedly placed him under scrutiny. Meanwhile, Dulquer continues to pursue his cinematic ambitions with his production house Wayfarer Films, and is also preparing for the release of the Telugu film Aakasamlo Oka Tara. He is currently filming an untitled Telugu project directed by Ravi Nelakuditi and produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri.

As the investigation progresses, all eyes will be on how Dulquer navigates these legal hurdles while balancing his busy film schedule.
