Malayalam actress abduction: Gangrape charge stares at Dileep

Kochi: The  remand report filed by the police has listed the  evidence proving  the role of Dileep, arraigned as the main conspirator in the actor assault case. The judicial first class magistrate remanded him in judicial custody for 14 days and he  was taken to Aluva sub-jail on Tuesday morning. If found guilty, Dileep will have to face 11 offences,  including gang rape (376-D),  against the actor. As per section 376 (D),  the accused if found guilty shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 20 years, but which may extend to life which shall mean imprisonment for the remainder of that person’s natural life, and with fine.

The police claim that Dileep insisted on Pulsar Suni to record a video to prove that it was not  fake or morphed and that the actress should be clearly identifiable with her ring. The offences registered against Dileep are 120 (B) conspiracy, 342 (wrongful confinement), 366 (kidnapping, abducting), 376 (D) gangrape, 411(dishonestly receiving stolen property), 506 (1) criminal  intimidation, 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence), 212 (harbouring offender), 34 of (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) and various sections under IT Act, 2008.

The police in its report claimed that they had collected witness statements as well as material objects to prove that Dileep had conspired with Pulsar Suni,  the main accused in the case,  from March 26, 2013 at various locations in Kerala till the event occurred. Suni deviated from his depositions and informed the police that he had conspired with  Dileep and planned to capture the videos of the actress and a fee was fixed for the same. The duo first met at Abad Plaza hotel in Kochi in 2013 during the rehearsal of an event organised by AMMA. They met in room number 410 and decided to capture the video which Dileep insisted should be original. During the rehearsal,   Dileep shouted at the actress. In another instance, Dileep and Suni met at Thrissur during the shoot of Georgettan's Pooram,  a movie acted by Dileep. They discussed the plot behind a caravan, the police said. The cops revealed that Dileep was arrested at Carnival Guest House at Athani at 6 p.m. on Monday.
