Meanwhile, on Monday, July 24, the Kerala High Court denied the bail plea of Dileep as there are chances that he might influence or threaten the witnesses considering the Janapriyanayakan's hold in the industry. Judge Sunil Thomas in the court order also added that prima facie there is enough evidence to suspect the involvement of the actor in the crime.

"To wreak vengeance, he allegedly conspired with the first accused, to abduct the victim and to take her nude photographs, on an offer that, the first accused would be paid Rupees One and Half Crores. The case is unique, considering its seriousness, meticulous planning, cruel nature of execution and being a crime executed to wreak vengeance on a woman by engaging criminals, to sexually abuse her," read the order.
