Alappuzha: Monson Mavunkal, a fake antique dealer from Kerala, had possessed a car registered in the name of actress Kareena Kapoor Khan. A 2007 model Porsche Boxster was seized by the police a year ago. It is now kept at the police station premises at Cherthala in Alappuzha district. About 20 luxury cars were seized from his custody following a legal scuffle between him and Sreevalsam Group, a leading business team.
News18 has accessed the seized car’s registration documents that have Randhir Kapoor’s name in the place of Kareena’s father. Her Mumbai address of Hill Road, Bandra has been furnished, among other details. It is unclear how Monson was able to take custodianship of the vehicle without changing the registration.
