In a major development in the sensational Kochi actress attack case, actor Dileep gave his statement to the cops at the Aluva police club on Wednesday, and faced a marathon grilling from the probe team afterwards. 

The police took Dileep’s statement on the basis of an earlier complaint filed by the actor that he was blackmailed and threatened by the prime accused Pulsar Suni and his aide Vishnu. Speaking to reporters outside the police club before he went in, the actor refused to divulge any details regarding the case, saying he does not want a "trial by media".
