The Enforcement Directorate conducted detailed questioning of prominent Malayalam actor Jayasurya and his wife Saritha Jayasurya, as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation tied to a large-scale online investment fraud. The couple was summoned to clarify their alleged involvement with the Save Box platform, which authorities describe as a deceptive scheme that lured investors with promises of high returns.

Investigative sources disclosed that Jayasurya had formally agreed to serve as the brand ambassador for Save Box, an application marketed as an online bidding and investment portal. The platform, operated by Swathik Rahee—also known as Swathi Rahim—is accused of functioning as a fraudulent operation, with multiple investors reporting substantial financial losses.

The case originated from at least four first information reports lodged with Thrissur police, detailing how the scheme systematically defrauded participants through misleading assurances. During earlier interrogations, Rahim provided statements alleging that portions of the illicit funds collected were redirected toward promotional activities, including payments to figures in the entertainment industry.

Rahim specifically claimed that significant sums were transferred to Jayasurya in exchange for endorsement services, while approximately Rs 30 lakh was allegedly routed to Saritha Jayasurya. These transactions reportedly involved a combination of cash disbursements and electronic transfers to a bank account linked to her boutique enterprise.

The ED's summons aimed to independently verify these assertions, scrutinize the financial trail, and determine the extent of any proceeds of crime absorbed through the couple's involvement, as the agency intensifies efforts to map the full network of beneficiaries in this multi-crore deception.
