SC rejects actor Dileep's memory card plea in sexual assault case

The Supreme Court on Friday rejected actor Dileep’s plea to access a copy of the memory card containing video clippings of the assault of a female actor in 2017.

Kochi (Kerala): The Supreme Court on Friday held that Malayalam actor Dileep was not entitled to receive a copy of the memory card allegedly containing the visuals of the sexual crimes committed on a Kerala actress in February 2017.

However, the court has allowed him to access and inspect the video subject to conditions securing the privacy of the actress.

The key accused in the case, Pulsar Suni, who confessed to the crime and to conspiring with Dileep, has been in jail since his arrest in 2017. The actress was abducted and allegedly assaulted inside her car in Kochi for two hours by Suni and his companies.
