Actor Dileep's bail plea denied for fourth time in Kerala actress assault case

The Angamaly first-class judicial magistrate court again denied the bail plea of actor Dileep in connection with the actress abduction case on Monday, September 18. 

This was the fourth bail plea submitted by the actor in the sensational case that shook the entire nation after a popular South Indian actress was waylaid on a highway by a gang led by main accused Pulsar Suni on February 17.

The actor has been lodged at the sub-jail in Aluva for the past two months.
