Don't leave country, cancel foreign trip: Police to Manju Warrier

SIT has asked actress Manju Warrier to cancel her foreign trips The actress was supposed to attend two award nights at New York and Chicago Her spokesperson said that Warrier cancelled her trips due to busy acting schedule

Kerala police have asked actress Manju Warrier to avoid foreign trips for a week. She was named the second witness in the latest chargesheet filed by the police in the case. 

Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case has asked the actress to cancel the trips she had planned for next week. The actress was supposed to attend two award nights at New York and Chicago. 

Police sources said that Manju, who is the ex-wife of actor Dileep, who was arrested for being part of the conspiracy that led to the attack on the actress, is not likely to attend the functions. However, spokesperson of the actress said that she cancelled her trips owing to busy acting schedule and not following police direction. 

"The police have not issued any travel restrictions and have not conveyed anything about her being named witness. She has a busy shooting schedule ahead," the spokesperson said.

However, Dileep's counsel, Ramkumar, in the bail plea submitted before High Court has said that the petitioner (Dileep) won't be able to influence Manju Warrier, who is one of the prominent witnesses in the case. The petition also states that ADGP Sandhya had questioned her even before the arrest of Dileep. 

Meanwhile, Kerala High Court will consider the bail plea of Dileep and his manager Appunni on Thursday after Magistrate court rejected his petition.
