The Customs Department is conducting raids across Kerala as part of Operation Numkhor, aimed at uncovering a gang involved in smuggling luxury vehicles left behind by the Bhutanese army. The operation has led to the seizure of 11 vehicles from seven locations in Kozhikode and Mallapuram, including a Land Cruiser, Land Rover, Tata SUV, and Mahindra Tata truck. The raids have drawn attention due to the involvement of Malayalam actors Prithviraj and Dulquer Salmaan.
