The investigators had earlier questioned Dileep's wife Kavya Madhavan. ADGP B Sandhya had recorded the statement of the actress in a six-hour-long interrogation.
It is learnt that Kavya denied knowing main accused Pulsar Suni. However, Suni had claimed that he had handed over a memory card with photos of the abducted actress at a certain madam's shop in Kakkanad. Police had conducted a raid at Kavya's boutique Laksyah for two days to find the crucial evidence.
Apart from Kavya, the probe team has also collected the statement of her mother Shyamala and singer-actress Rimi Tomy. The latest reports suggest that the trio and actor-MLA Mukesh will be called again for questioning.
