Kerala police have said that Malayalam actor Dileep was arrested on the basis of 19 pieces of evidence proving his involvement in the conspiracy. Investigation agencies have found that the actor waited for four years to settle the score with the actress and the plan was hatched as early as 2013.
Dileep was arrested for conspiring with the criminals who waylaid the actress on February 17 in a moving car in Kochi. It took 80 days for the police to retrace the run-up to the abduction and abuse of actress after they conducted the interrogation of 15 persons who were either close to Pulsar Suni or Dileep.
Anto Joseph
Police sources have revealed that the first evidence against Dileep was the phone call made by producer Anto Joseph to him, to inform about the assault. Dileep disconnected the call in just 12 seconds. But later Dileep said that he came to know about the incident only at 9 am next morning. Police became doubtful on getting this information and started digging deep into the issue.
The tip-off
As per reports, Dileep turned against the actress, in 2013, after she tipped off his then wife Manju Warrier about his affair with Kavya Madhavan, whom he married later.
