Cheating case: Need to interrogate actor Soubin Shahir in custody, police tell Kerala HC
Kochi: The police have informed high court that actor Soubin Shahir, his father Babu Shahir and Shawn Antony, all three accused in the alleged financial cheating case related to the production of the hit Malayalam film Manjummel Boys, must necessarily be interrogated in police custody. The investigating officer, Maradu police station house officer Rajesh R, made this submission in response to the anticipatory bail pleas filed by the accused. The SHO added that custodial interrogation was essential to ascertain the details regarding the collection and expenditure related to the film. The case originates from a complaint filed by Siraj Valiyathara of Aroor before the magistrate court, Ernakulam, alleging that Parava Films LLP, owned by the accused, had solicited his investment for the production of Manjummel Boys. As per an agreement dated Nov 30, 2022, he had invested a total of Rs 7 crore through multiple transactions. Despite the film's commercial success, the petitioners allegedly failed to honour the profit-sharing agreement.

In its report, the police vehemently opposed the pre-arrest bail pleas, contending that the investigation so far revealed a deliberate attempt by the accused to cheat the complainant. It was alleged that although the film grossed Rs 286 crore, the accused failed to pay Siraj his rightful profit share amounting to Rs 40 crore. According to police, the accused paid Siraj only Rs 5.99 crore, and that too only after HC, relying on the police report indicating commission of a cognizable offence, issued a directive in that regard. Previously, in May 2024, the court had stayed the investigation upon petitions filed by the accused. However, on May 22, 2025, the court dismissed those petitions, thereby allowing the investigation to resume. Pursuant to this, the police issued notices directing the accused to appear before the investigating officer on June 20. However, HC deferred their appearance to June 27 in light of their pending anticipatory bail pleas. The police have prayed for the dismissal of the bail petitions. The matter is posted for consideration on June 26.
