Mumbai: Court of First Instance Angamaly has extended Dileep police custody until Saturday at 5 pm in the case of abduction and assault of a Malayalam actress.
The actor had appeared in court at 11 am on Friday after two-day police custody on Wednesday had come to an end.
Dileep was arrested July 11 by the Investigative Task Force for conspiring and getting a popular Malayalam actress to bother in an attempt to blackmail.
He is poised to become the second accused in the high profile case, behind the accused primary Pulsar Suni.
Police had previously said they would be filing the statements of Dileep’s second wife, Kavya Madhavan, and her mother Shyamala, director Lal and deputy PT Thomas, before the investigation is completed.
Apparently, the actress leaked the “affair” of Dileep with his current wife Kavya Madhavan to his then wife Manju Warrier in 2013.
Police state that Dileep insisted on Pulsar Suni recording a video to prove it was not fake or morphed and that the actress should be clearly identifiable with her ring. The offenses registered against Dileep are 120 (B) conspiracy, 342 (illicit confinement), 366 (kidnapping, kidnapping), 376 (D) gangrape, 411 (dishonestly receiving stolen property), 506 Of the crime), 212 (which houses the offender), 34 (acts done by several people in defense of common intention) and several sections under IT Act, 2008.
