Actor Dileep will file a motion in court against police for failing to provide his counsel with crucial documents. He is one of those accused of abducting an actress.

Dileep’s counsel has been asking for a copy of the visuals of the actress being harassed while she was driven around in a vehicle in Kochi for around two hours before being dumped near the home of a director.

When the demand was first raised, a lower court had allowed for the actor and his counsel to take a look at it in the presence of the court. However, now he wished to have a copy of it, which the police was not willing to give.

His counsel also asked for other documents pertaining to the case, which was not handed over and this will also be pointed out in the petition.

According to the police, this was all vital evidence in the case and the privacy of the victim was to be taken into consideration, hence they were unwilling to part with it.

The abduction took place in February 2017 while the actress was on her way to Kochi from her house. The gang of criminals was led by Pulsar Suni, who was named as the prime accused.

The trial court in December accepted the chargesheet that names 12 people, including Dileep’s former wife Manju Warrier, who is a key witness.

The 650-page chargesheet included secret depositions. Among the list of witnesses, around 50 were from the film industry.

Dileep was arrested on July 10, 2017, and after 85 days in jail, he got conditional bail.
