Ottapalam: Police registered a case against the star couple Baburaj Jacob and Vani Viswanath for allegedly embezzling Rs 3 crore by misleading that the film production is a profitable business. Police resorted to action following Thiruvilwamala native Riyas lodged a complaint against the couple.

The complaint noted that the couple received Rs 3.14 crore for the production of movie ‘Koodasha’. Riyas informed the police that he had not received any profit or even the outlay later.
