Malayalam superstar Mohanlal has officially declared a collection of elephant tusks and ivory artefacts to the Kerala Forest Department under the state's amnesty scheme, bringing renewed attention to a legal matter that has been under scrutiny for over a decade.

Mohanlal submits new declaration

According to reports, the actor declared 10 elephant tusks and 13 ivory idols as part of the one-time amnesty announced by the Kerala government. The move is linked to a long-pending case dating back to 2011, when officials recovered ivory items from Mohanlal's residence during an inspection.
