Malayalam superstar Mohanlal declares 10 elephant tusks, 13 ivory artefacts under Kerala's one-time amnesty scheme

## Mohanlal's Declaration

Malayalam film icon Mohanlal has declared possession of 10 elephant tusks and 13 ivory artefacts under Kerala's one-time wildlife amnesty program. This move is part of his ongoing legal efforts to address allegations of illegal ivory possession.

## Legal Context

The actor's declaration includes six tusks that were not previously disclosed, reportedly inherited through his family. Forest officials inspected the items at Mohanlal's Kochi residence and compiled an inventory, which will be reviewed by the Chief Wildlife Warden.

## Historical Background

The controversy began in August 2011 when ivory items were discovered during an Income Tax Department raid at Mohanlal's home. This led to criminal proceedings against him for alleged unlawful possession.

## Potential Outcomes

If approved under the amnesty scheme, Mohanlal could gain legal protection from further legal actions regarding these items. The Chief Wildlife Warden will assess the declaration and inventory to decide on the regularization of ownership.
