This operation was named Numkhor, which means a “vehicle” in Bhutan.
Customs officials examined the houses of actors Dulquer Salmaan and Vrithviuranu Sukumaran in Kochi.
The customs have confiscated 38 “high -valuable second -hand cars” suspects that they have been smuggled from Bhutan in the last few years.
