Actress assault case: Siddique questioned by Kerala Police? Actor refuses to comment

After interrogating actors Edavela Babu, Kavya Madhavan and Rimi Tomy, the Kerala Police team handling the sensational actress assault case is said to have recorded the statement of actor Siddique.

According to reports, the special investigation team (SIT) quizzed Siddique, a close friend of Dileep, at the Police Club in Aluva. Reports suggest that he was enquired on the stage show rehearsals in 2013 during which Dileep and the assaulted actress had a tiff. 

It is rumoured that the duo picked a fight after the actress revealed about the leading actor's relationship with Kavya Madhavan to his then wife Manju Warrier. Siddique is believed to have pacified them then.

However, Siddique has refused to comment on the latest rumours of him being interrogated by the probe team. "It is media's job to give news. Let them do that. I don't think I have to give an explanation to this," the actor told Mathrubhumi.
