Malayalam actor Dileep, booked for conspiracy in the actress’ abduction and molestation case, was sent to two days police custody by the Angamaly Judicial Magistrate court on Wednesday. While the police demanded Dileep’s custody for three days for further questioning and collection of evidence, the court allowed custody for two days. After his arrest, on the charge of conspiracy, Dileep has been expelled from various film forums, including the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA), as the industry rallied behind the actress.
Another "person of interest" in the case is taken into custody.
