With the crucial verdict in the high-profile Kerala actress assault case just hours away, significant new details from the trial have come to light. These revelations include a personal message sent by actor Dileep to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan days after the crime.
Dileep's Message to the Chief Minister
According to reports, the actor sent a personal message to CM Pinarayi Vijayan on February 22, 2017, at 9:22 AM. This was just five days after the horrific assault took place. In the message, Dileep reportedly expressed that he was under "extreme mental stress" while maintaining his innocence, stating this was despite having done nothing wrong.
Reports further indicate that around the same period, Dileep had also contacted high-ranking police officers. The prosecution has presented this recovered message in court as evidence.
Prosecution's Argument: A Move Driven by Fear
The prosecution argues that this sudden outreach to the state's highest authority and senior police officials was not a mere coincidence. They claim it was triggered by fear.
According to the prosecution's narrative, the investigation publicly identified Pulsar Suni as the prime accused from its very first day. This development allegedly created immense pressure on Dileep, leading him to reach out in a state of panic, fearing the investigation would eventually reach him.
The prosecution has also reiterated its long-standing claim about the alleged motive. They assert that the conspiracy was driven by Dileep's resentment. This resentment supposedly stemmed from the assaulted actress revealing details of Dileep's relationship with actress Kavya Madhavan to his then-wife, Manju Warrier.
Defense Counters and Concealed Identities
In court, it was also revealed that Dileep had saved Kavya Madhavan's mobile number under multiple aliases. Names like Raman, RUK Annen, Meen, and Vyasan were used, allegedly to conceal her identity.
The prosecution contends that Manju Warrier's discovery of messages between Dileep and Kavya set off a chain of events that culminated in the conspiracy to assault the actress.
However, Dileep's defense team strongly denies this entire narrative. The actor maintains that the allegation of him orchestrating or financing the attack is a completely fabricated story created by the police. Of the ten accused in the case, actor Dileep is listed as the eighth accused.
As the legal battle reaches a critical juncture, the film industry and the public await the final verdict. On the professional front, Dileep is preparing for a major comeback with his upcoming film 'Bha.Bha. Ba'.
