Kochi: The High Court has begun hearing on the bail application of actor Dileep, arrested in actress assault case. As per reports, the hearing will continue on Wednesday.
The bail plea that was supposed to come up on August 18 was postponed for Tuesday following a request from the prosecution as its lawyers were out of town attending the funeral of former Advocate General M.K. Damodaran at Kannur.
Dileep on August 10 submitted a fresh bail plea for the third time.
His judicial remand had been extended till September 2 in a case involving the abduction and molestation of an actress in February.
The actor, arrested on July 10, is since then lodged in the Aluva sub-jail.
Dileep's arrest came after police found evidence against him as the abduction's key conspirator.
The actress was abducted and molested while travelling from Thrissur to Kochi on February 17.
A trial court had earlier denied Dileep's first bail plea. The actor then approached the high court, which also turned down his plea.
Dileep has employed a new counsel, replacing the previous one who appeared twice on his bail plea.
The police had earlier arrested the prime accused, Pulsar Suni, and his accomplices a week after the incident. However, a conspiracy angle cropped up much later that led to Dileep's arrest.
