According to PTI, on Tuesday, the Kerala High Court allowed Dulquer to file an application for the release of his vehicle, which had been seized by Customs. The actor claimed that Customs officials refused to examine the vehicle's documents handed over to them, and carried out the seizure in a ‘hasty and arbitrary’ fashion.
