Ernakulam: A day after the sensational verdict by the sessions court in the actress assault case where Dileep was acquitted, the actor said that he is contemplating legal action against “those who conspired to falsely implicate him in the case”.
Alleging that he was framed by a group of police personnel, Dileep told ‘The Hindu’ that the survivor had not mentioned his name during the first four months of the investigation.
Reiterating his stance that he’d had a cordial relationship with the survivor, Dileep claimed that she’d later made some references to him under the influence of the Special Investigation Team (SIT).
Dileep also told The hindu that he would make a final decision regarding legal action after he obtains a copy of the Ernakulam court’s order.
The court will pronounce the quantum of sentence for six convicts, including prime accused Pulsar Suni, on December 12. The copy of the judgement is likely to be made public on the same day.
Dileep also accused the SIT of “misleading” the state government into believing he had masterminded the crime.
He also claimed in the interview that the ‘conspiracy’ against him began after his former wife and actor Manju Warrier implicated him in the case. Further, Dileep claimed a senior woman police officer was involved in this alleged conspiracy.
Dileep went on to claim that the SIT planted stories in the media to defame and create a hostile environment against him. He also claimed that the SIT members thought to cash in on his social standing and popularity as an actor.
“Investigating officers acted based on inputs”: CM Pinarayi Vijayan
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan reacted to actor Dileep’s statements following his acquittal in the 2017 Kerala actor assault case, saying that conclusions about the case should only be drawn after examining the entire judgement.
Speaking to the media in Kannur on Tuesday, November 8, Pinarayi said he could not explain the claims being made by Dileep and that the actor himself should clarify his remarks.
Reacting to actor Dileep’s charges that the police had falsely implicated him, the Chief Minister said he did not understand the basis of that claim. He said the investigating officers had acted only on the evidence that was discovered or placed before them during the course of the probe.
