Sexual Assault Case: Kerala High Court grants bail to actor Dileep
The fresh case was filed against Dileep on the basis of a few audio clips and other evidences released by director Balachandra Kumar.
In another shocking turn of events, the Kerala High Court has granted bail to Malayalam actor Dileep in the new conspiracy case. On Monday, February 7, the HC allowed the anticipatory bail plea of actor Dileep before the arrest, in the fresh allegations made against him in connection to the sexual assault of an actress in 2017.
The police, opposing the plea, said that granting Dileep bail could impact the faith of people in law. To this, Judge Gopinath of the Kerala High Court said that the prosecution can apply for arresting the accused despite a grant of anticipatory bail.
The fresh case was filed against Dileep on the basis of a few audio clips and other evidence released by director Balachandra Kumar.
The Director General of Prosecution argued before the court that as soon as new allegations against Dileep and others came up, they changed their phone which proves their involvement in the crime. "Why did they change phones as soon as Balachandra Kumar came into the scene?," Director General of Prosecution told the Court.
"Balachandra Kumar is a consistent witness, audio clip is supplementary evidence. If he is found to be a credible witness by a court of law, it can lead to a conviction. He was there when the conspiracy was hatched, and he took audio clips. His oral statement is also there,” Director General of Prosecution TA Shaji who argued in the Court was quoted by The News Minute. DGP said that Balachandra Kumar had no connection with the investigating team.
DGP Shaji appearing for the prosecution asked for the evidence in a sealed cover produced at the court. However, advocate Raman Pillai refused to give him the same and stated that the cover given by the prosecution is not available to him.
