Malayalam actor Mohanlal applies to the Kerala Forest Department under a one-time “ivory amnesty” scheme to regularize ivory and elephant tusk articles he says are in his possession. The development follows a Kerala High Court order that cancels the ownership certificates issued for the items. According to reports, the court’s decision concerns two pairs of elephant tusks and additional ivory artefacts linked to the actor. The Forest Department is examining Mohanlal’s application, including seeking details about how the items were sourced and acquired, as officials verify the origin of the tusks and ivory articles. While the amnesty application is under scrutiny, legal proceedings related to possession of the items continue, with authorities assessing the case in line with wildlife regulations. The reports indicate that officials are not immediately concluding the matter and are conducting inquiries as part of the process associated with the amnesty scheme and the ongoing legal track.
