Crime Branch had booked her for allegedly forging documents to register her high-end vehicle in the Union Territory of Puducherry.Kochi: The Kerala High Court has directed popular actress Amala Paul to appear before the Crime Branch in a tax evasion case.
The actress had moved the High Court for anticipatory bail after the Crime Branch booked her for allegedly forging documents to register her high-end vehicle in the union territory of Puducherry.
The HC on Tuesday said the Crime Branch can question Amala on January 15 from 10-1 pm. The court said it would again consider her bail plea after 10 days.
The Crime Branch had earlier summoned the actress for interrogation, but she failed to turn up.
The cops had said she was allegedly trying to evade the 20 per cent tax in Kerala on luxury cars costing Rs 20 lakh and above.
Fahadh Faasil, involved in a similar case, was arrested on December 25 and later released on bail on a bond of Rs 50,000 and two solvent sureties.
A tax evasion case has been registered against actor-turned-Rajya Sabha MP Suresh Gopi also.
