BJP candidate actor Suresh Gopi declares assets of over ₹12 crore

The actor-politician, who hopes to turn things around this time, has declared an income of ₹4,39,68,960 in the financial year 2023-24, according to the affidavit file along with his nomination papers which were submitted on 2 April.

His movable assets, including eight vehicles and 1,025 grams of gold, come to a little over ₹4 crore.

The actor’s immovable assets, which include two plots of agricultural land, seven plots of non-agricultural land, and seven residential buildings, are currently worth a total of ₹8,59,37,943, according to the affidavit.

He also has liabilities, which include bank and vehicle loans, of around ₹61 lakh.

The actor had declared assets of over ₹10 crore during the 2019 LS polls and the 2021 state assembly elections.

The actor is facing four criminal cases, one each for unlawful assembly and outraging the modesty of a woman and two for alleged motor tax evasion for registering two of his vehicles in the Union Territory of Puducherry back in 2017.

In the tax evasion matters, a Kerala court on Friday—5 April— had dismissed his pleas to discharge him from the two cases.

The court has listed the cases on 28 April for framing of charges.
