The police team investigating the Kochi actress attack case interrogated Dileep's wife and veteran actress Kavya Madhavan for six hours on Tuesday, reportedly leaving her in tears.
The probe team kept on asking Kavya about Dileep's behaviour on the night of the incident and the days following it, which led to the actress breaking down in front of the officers several times, according to reports.
A team led by ADGP B Sandhya quizzed Kavya at Dileep's ancestral residence in Aluva. Dileep's brother Anoop and other members of the family stay at the house. The interrogation which started at 11 am on Tuesday lasted till 5 pm.

Kavya was allegedly not very cooperative during the questioning, and it is understood that the probe team failed to get any crucial pieces of evidence from her in connection with the case.
The actress reportedly told the police that Dileep is innocent and has been framed by people who have professional enmity towards him. Dileep was arrested on charges of conspiracy in connection with the attack on July 10 and is currently in remand at the Aluva sub-jail.

Prime accused Pulsar Suni had earlier informed that he had submitted the memory card containing visuals of the attack at Kavya's shop at Kakkanad.
With the Angmaly first class magistrate court extending Dileep's judicial custody to another 14 days on Tuesday, the police are expected to question more persons who are close to actor in the next few days. Dileep's manager Appunni is absconding since the actor's arrest.
