Soubin Shahir was denied entry to Dubai by the court

Crazy Malayalam actor and producer Soubin Shahir was recently arrested by the Maradu police in Kerala. The arrest was made in a Rs 7 crore financial fraud case related to the super hit film ‘Manjummal Boys’, which he acted in and produced. The case is currently under investigation on corruption charges. Along with Soubin, his co-producers Babu Shahir and Shaan Antony have also been taken into custody.

However, they were later released on bail. Soubin Shahir has been banned from travelling to the UAE as the investigation continues. Soubin had sought permission to attend an award function in Dubai on September 5 this month... but the Ernakulam Magistrate’s Court rejected his travel request. Although he was first arrested in connection with the case in July, he was granted anticipatory bail and released on the same day. Later, Soubin Shahir approached the court seeking relaxation of his bail conditions and permission to travel abroad.

Soubin Shahir was questioned at the Maradu police station in July. After the questioning, Soubin told the media that he had submitted all the documents asked by the investigating officers and had also handed over his mobile phone. “I think the investigating officers have understood the situation now. They will review the documents and take a decision,” he said. Soubin Shahir said that he has not been formally arrested. Police officials also confirmed that he was granted conditional bail by the Kerala High Court and that no formal arrest has been made.

Soubin’s father Babu Shahir and co-producer Shaan Antony were also questioned by the police in the past in this case. These arrests were made on the complaint of investor Siraj Valiyaveettil. Siraj.. despite promising a 40 percent share of the film’s profits, he alleged that he received only Rs. 5.99 crore instead of Rs. 40 crore. ‘Manjummal Boys’ has grossed Rs. 100 crore worldwide. Despite being a huge success, collecting 240.5 crores, Siraj filed a complaint against the producers, alleging financial fraud.
