Malayalam actor Dileep was arrested earlier today by Kerala police in connection with the abduction of a leading actress in February 2017.

It has to be recalled that Dileep was interrogated by the police for more than 13 hours a few days ago. There was also a police raid in a business premise of Dileep’s current wife Kavya Madhavan.

The police had reportedly mentioned that they took Dileep into custody this morning and his arrest was recorded in the evening. As per Malayalam reports, the conspiracy behind the attack was hatched several years back and it was in the second attempt that the actress was attacked in February late night.
