Jayaram
Malayalam film actor Jayaram, on Tuesday, arrived for questioning at the ED office in connection with the alleged misappropriation of gold from Sabarimala. Talking to reporters after the questioning, the actor said that all those involved in the matter should be caught and that Lord Ayyappa will not spare the culprits. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had issued the summons to the actor earlier this month in connection with its money laundering probe linked to the alleged misappropriation of gold from the shrine.
Speaking to reporters outside the ED office here, Jayaram said despite the thousands of temples across the country, Sabarimala holds a special place in the hearts of every Indian, as everyone is welcome there irrespective of their caste or religion.
