After the Kerala police recorded actress Manju Warrier’s statement in connection with a case of alleged conspiracy against police officials who probed the 2017 woman actor abduction and sexual assault case, in which her ex-husband and popular actor Dileep is an accused, director popular Malayalam filmmaker Sanal Kumar Sasidharan took to his social media handle and shared that Warrier’s life was in danger. According to him, she was facing danger from people close to her. Sanal also named that her managers Bineesh Chandran and Binu Nair would be responsible if anything adverse happens to Manju. In a Facebook post, he said: “I have sent an email and a text message to Manju Warrier about my apprehensions and mentioned that I am planning to reveal my doubts on social media before I put my first post. I have not received any reply from her…I have no personal interest in this matter. I totally understand that I stand on a dangerous edge on this issue. I can see a possibility of Manju Warrier coming out and say that she is just fine and I am making unnecessary hue and cry…’’

Somebody please interfere”, he said on a Facebook live. He will be brought to Kochi, where the case has been registered.
