FollowThe Kerala High Court has denied bail to actor Dileep, who was arrested on charges of conspiracy in the Kochi actress attack case.

The verdict on Monday has come as a massive setback for the actor in his bid to come clean in the case. The police will now produce him at the Angamaly first class judicial magistrate court to extend his remand period.Â
The prosecution maintained its stand that Dileep is the mastermind behind the attack and they have solid evidence proving his involvement. The defence, meanwhile, said that the actor was arrested solely based on the statement of main accused Pulsar Suni.
