Kerala HC adjourns hearing on anticipatory bail plea of actor Dileep to Jan 21
Deccan ChronicleKochi: The Kerala High Court on Tuesday adjourned to January 21 the anticipatory bail application of actor Dileep and five others in a case registered against them for allegedly threatening investigation officers probing the sexual assault of a Malayalam actress in 2017. The court, while considering the anticipatory bail of the Dileep and others on January 14, had asked for the recorded statement of movie director Balachandra Kumar in the fresh case against the actor. Kumar, who had recently made some startling revelations against Dileep in the actress assault case through media, had also recorded his statement in connection with the threatening case before the Crime Branch wing recently. The Crime Branch had on January 9 registered a case following a complaint by an investigating officer based on a purported audio clip of Dileep, which was released by a TV channel recently in which the actor was allegedly heard conspiring to attack the official.
