Malayalam
superstars
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal
have
been
accused
of
suppressing
income.
IT
officials
conducted
daylong
raids
at
the
actors"
residences,
offices,
business
establishments
and
other
properties
on
Friday,
July
22.
And
they
are
said
to
have
received
definite
indication
for
the
stars'
tax
evasion.
“We
have
seen
disparities
between
the
income
shown
in
I-T
returns
filed
by
them
and
investments
they
have
made.
We
can
quantify
it
only
after
scrutinising
income
statements,
investment
details,
and
other
records.
It
will
take
time.
We
also
have
to
question
the
stars
before
finalising
our
estimates
of
their
assets,"
the
TOI
quotes
a
senior
IT
official
as
telling.
The
IT
raids
on
Mammootty
and
Mohanlal
started
at
6
am
on
Friday
and
have
been
temporarily
halted.
IT
officials
have
already
questioned
Mammootty
for
about
seven
hours
and
they
will
have
to
question
him
again
before
finalising
their
assessment
of
the
scale
of
income
suppression.
Mohanlal
was
busy
shooting
in
Rameshwaram
and
he
is
likely
to
be
questioned
either
on
Monday
(July
25)
or
Tuesday
(July
26).
