Malayalam actor Dileep was released on bail by the Kerala High Court in the actress abduction case. This was his fifth plea for bail, and the third before the high court. He was arrested on July 10 for his alleged role in the conspiracy behind the abduction of the actress in February this year.

Justice Sunil Thomas granted bail to the actor under strict conditions. He has been directed not to influence witnesses and appear before the investigating team as and when required. The actor was also asked to surrender his passport and furnish a bail amount of Rs 1,00,000. The 31-year-old actress was returning from a film shoot on February 17 when she was allegedly abducted by a gang of criminals and sexually assaulted in a moving car in Kochi.

The assailants allegedly recorded the assault on their mobile phones and threatened to release the clip if she dared to approach the police. During the attack, the main accused – Pulsar Suni – allegedly hinted they were committing the crime at somebody else’s behest. She lodged a complaint with the police, who arrested all the accused allegedly involved in the crime.
