Kochi: Breaking her silence, the South Indian actress who was abducted and assaulted by a gang of men in February on Thursday expressed hope that truth would come out in the case in which popular Malayalam actor Dileep was arrested on the charge of being a key conspirator.
In her first comments since the arrest of Dileep on July 10, the actor, in a release, said she was shocked like others on seeing the developments which unfolded in the case over the last few days.
The actor, without taking Dileep’s name, recalled her working with him in several movies and said some personal issues between them had put an end to their friendship.
She had not tried to make anyone as an accused in the case because of personal rivalry or in the name of any other issues, she said.
Dismissing reports that the rivalry between them had erupted over a real estate deal, the actor said she had no such deals -- either real estate or financial -- with the actor.
The actor said she had come to know from media and other sources that all evidences were against the actor, currently being questioned in police custody.
Apparently referring to Dileep’s brother Anoop’s claims of conspiracy behind the arrest, she said if “that person” (Dileep) is claiming that he was trapped in the case, the fact about it should also come out fast.
Let the truth be revealed quickly in the case, she said, adding those responsible for the crime shall not be left to go scot-free and no innocent person should be implicated.
