More charges to be filed against Dileep in actress assault case, further investigation report will be submitted on Friday

KOCHI: The further investigation report in the actress assault case will be submitted by the crime branch on Friday. The report, which includes an additional charge sheet against Dileep’s friend Sarath, will be submitted before the Angamaly Magistrate Court.

In the case, more charges will be filed against Dileep. The actor will be charged with sections for hiding and destroying evidence. The case will be heard again on Friday afternoon.

The probe team had earlier sought three more weeks to complete the investigation in the wake of the forensic report that the memory card, which is the key mainour in the case, was illegally opened in three courts. As the high court rejected the demand, the probe team said that the final report was ready.

The crime branch had begun further investigation in January, following the revelations made by director P Balachandra Kumar that the first accused Pulsar Suni had close relations with eighth accused Dileep.

Meantime, the government has appointed Aja Kumar as the special public prosecutor in the case. The chief minister’s decision was taken as per the demand of the actress. Aja Kumar is a lawyer at Thiruvananthapuram Vanchiyoor Court.
