Malayalam actor Dileep on Saturday revealed that he has evaded payment of service tax, said central excise and service tax officials.
The over 12-hour raid that began on Saturday morning took place at multiple places, including his residence near Kochi, and offices that are into production and distribution.
A press statement issued by the central excise department said the raids were based on intelligence reports that the 45-year-old Dileep evaded payment of service tax by hiding details of his remuneration.
The statement said the actor takes only a small portion of his remuneration through cash or cheque, while the rest is channelised by taking over the distribution of his film.
The actor, who was reported to be in a shooting location in the city itself, however, did not turn up before the officials.
In the Malayalam film industry, Dileep is currently rated as the most sought after actor after the two superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal.
Beginning his career from behind the scenes by working as an assistant director to ace filmmaker Kamal, he is also a good mimic.
In the early 1990s, he started doing cameos and later he proved his mettle through films like "Sallapam" and "Punjabi House" to name a few.
In 2000 and 2002, blockbuster films like "Thenkasi Pattenem" and "Meeshamadhavan", Dileep scaled newer heights and has since then remained at the top.
He later married Malayalam actress Manju Warrier.

Support to AAP not unconditional: Congress
Senior Congress leader of Delhi Kiran Walia
says there’s always scope for a rethink if AAP doesn’t deliver
New Delhi: A day ahead of AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal's
expected decision on the issue of formation of government in Delhi, Congress
said tonight its support to AAP was "not unconditional".
Senior Congress leader of Delhi Kiran Walia told NDTV "we have
said we will not bring down your government. But the support is not for always.
There's always the scope for a rethink if they don't deliver."
Congress, after being routed in Delhi Assembly polls, had said
it would be giving unconditional support to AAP to form the government.
AICC General Secretary and in-charge of Delhi, Shakeel Ahmed,
had said "a number of senior leaders of Delhi are of the opinion that we should
give unconditional support to AAP to form a government. They believe that we
should extend outside support to it.
The Delhi polls threw up a fractured mandate with no party
securing majority in the 70-member assembly and BJP emerging as the single
largest party with 32 seats. BJP's ally Akali Dal has one MLA.
AAP has got 28 seats in the assembly followed by Congress'
eight.
Despite emerging as the single largest party with 31 seats, BJP
has declined the offer of the Lt Governor to form the government citing that it
did not have the numbers.
The Lt Governor has already recommended that Delhi be put under
President's rule with the new assembly in suspended animation among other
options.
Meanwhile, AAP today held public meetings at around 80 places
in the city to gauge the opinion of the people on formation of government with
the "unconditional" support from Congress, the reponse for which so far has been
in affirmative.
"I have held meetings in three places today and most of the
people who attended said we should form the government. If the sentiment is same
in all the wards, then respecting the people's verdict, we may form the
government but the final decision would be taken only after Sunday," Manish
Sisodia, MLA from Patparganj constituency, said after a meeting in Khichripur
village.
South Africa vs India, 1st Test
India 8 wickets away from a historic win
To give you a brief recap of the day, India started the day at 284 for 2 with
ton-up Pujara and Kohli going strongly at the crease. After adding a few more
runs to the total, Pujara departed on 153, while Kohli soon followed him,
missing out on his second ton of the Test by just 4 runs.
However, with the exception of Dhoni (29) and Zaheer Khan (29) the Indian middle and lower order couldn’t make a big contribution as they were bowled out for 421, setting SA a final target of 458.
Petersen and Smith provided the hosts with a steady start as they put up a 100-run stand for the opening wicket. However, Smith was run out on 44 and Hashim Amla fell cheaply on 4 towards the end of the day, putting India back in the driving seat in this game.
The hosts will look at their middle-order, hoping that they play out the final day to save this Test match.
Do join us again at 1:30 pm tomorrow for all the updates and the best pictures from day 5 of the first Test. Till then, good night!
