The Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) has recommended the Crime Branch (CB) probing charges of tax evasion by Keralites, who had registered their high-end vehicles in Puducherry, to register a case against actor Fahadh Faasil.
Alappuzha Regional Transport Officer (RTO) Shibu K. Itty said that a report had been submitted to the Crime Branch requesting to register a case against the actor for forging residential address and evading tax.
“We had earlier served a notice on the actor. After this, he had paid tax for one of his vehicle, but replied that the other vehicle is not being used in Kerala. We have a different opinion. The vehicle for which he has not paid tax has previously been charged 10 times by the MVD after our automated enforcement system detected it for over-speeding. A report requesting action against the actor has been submitted to the Crime Branch last week,” Mr. Shibu said.
The actor had recently paid ₹17.68 lakh as road tax at the Alappuzha Regional Transport Office after it was found that he had registered a Benz E Class car worth ₹95 lakh in Puducherry. However, the MVD unearthed another case of tax evasion by the actor.
Sources said that Mr. Fahadh had registered a luxury vehicle worth around ₹1.5 crore in Puducherry and is being used in Kerala. He allegedly evaded tax to the tune of ₹30 lakh. It was also revealed that the actor used forged residential addresses to register both the cars.
