What Led to the ED's Action Against Malayalam Star Jayasurya?

Enforcement Directorate Takes Action

Kochi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has seized a property valued at Rs 39 lakh belonging to renowned Malayalam actor Jayasurya as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation, according to official reports released on Wednesday.

In December 2025, both Jayasurya and his spouse were interrogated by the federal agency regarding allegations of fraud involving an online bidding platform named 'Save Box'.

This alleged investment scheme is reportedly managed by an individual named Swathi Rahim.

The ED's investigation is linked to at least four FIRs filed by the Thrissur East Police, as indicated by sources.

On Tuesday, a provisional order was issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to confiscate the property in Kerala, which is valued at Rs 39.01 lakh and was reportedly 'received by' Jayasurya.

Sources have mentioned that some funds were transferred from Rahim to Jayasurya in exchange for his endorsement of the investment scheme.
