ED Attaches 39 Lakh Asset Linked to Actor Jayasurya in Save Box Case

Kochi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached an immovable property worth 39 lakh linked to Malayalam actor Jayasurya as part of a money laundering investigation connected to the ‘Save Box’ online bidding app case.

The attachment was made through a provisional order issued under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Officials said the property was identified as proceeds received in connection with the alleged fraud.

The case relates to an online investment scheme operated under the name ‘Save Box’, which is accused of cheating several investors. The ED investigation is based on at least four FIRs registered by the Thrissur East Police.

According to the agency, Jayasurya had received payment from the main accused, Swathi Rahim, for endorsing the app as its brand ambassador. The ED is examining the financial transactions between Swathi Rahim and the actor as part of the probe.

Jayasurya and his wife were questioned by the ED in Kochi in December 2025 in connection with the case. The agency is investigating whether the funds paid for endorsement were linked to the alleged proceeds of crime.

The actor has maintained that he has not committed any wrongdoing and that he had only acted in advertisements for the app. The investigation is continuing.
