Malayalam actor Mohanlal has declared possession of 10 elephant tusks and 13 ivory idols to the Kerala Forest Department under the state's one-time amnesty scheme. The declaration comes while he continues to face trial in a case involving the alleged illegal possession of wildlife articles. Forest officials said the newly declared tusks and idols, including figures of Lord Krishna, Lord Rama and Tirupati Balaji, will undergo DNA testing to verify their authenticity. Mohanlal has said most of the items were inherited or received as gifts. The trial related to the 2011 wildlife case is still ongoing. (PC: The Print)
