Actor Dileep was arrested on July 10th, 2017 by Aluva police after having found irrefutable evidence against the actor for conspiring the abduction and assault of a popular Malayalam actress. The actor had recently moved to the Kerala High Court for the second time requesting bail.

Accompanied by her younger son Anoop, Dileep's mother Sarojam had visited the actor in the jail last Friday. And now, his mother has written a letter to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan defending Dileep and requesting the government to intervene in the case. In the letter, Dileep's mother mentioned that he is an innocent man who will never “commit such a crime.”

After receiving the letter, the Chief Minister`s office has forwarded it to Kerala police chief Loknath Behera. Meanwhile, the High Court bench has adjourned the hearing of Dileep`s new bail application on August 18.
