Actor Jayaram, who gained acclaim for playing King Rajasekhara in Rishab Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1, has been named in the ongoing Sabarimala gold theft case. According to the latest reports, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned him for interrogation. Notably, this comes after Jayaram recorded his statement with a Special Investigation Team (SIT) a few days ago.
The Kochi unit of ED registered an ECIR (Enforcement Case Information Report) under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) about a month ago.
