Troubled actor Dileep on Monday moved the Kerala High Court seeking anticipatory bail in a fresh case registered by the police investigation team probing the kidnapping of the actress in which he is an accused.

Kumar, who recently parted ways with Dileep, had told the police that the actor had some clips of the female actor who was sexually assaulted.

The probe team has now sought permission to question Pulsar Suni, the main accused who led the kidnapping of the actress, while Kumar has now been asked to appear before a magistrate to record his statement following the revelations made by him. .
Dileep was arrested in 2017 and jailed in a case related to filming scenes and sexually assaulting a frontline heroine of South Indian films.
After two months in jail, he was released on bail and the trial of the case is going on, when the latest revelations have come to light.
