Kochi, Nov 3: Actor Dileep has sought an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the case of abduction of the Malayalam actress. Dileep was arrested on July 10 because of his alleged involvement in the molestation case. He was granted bail by the Kerala High Court on October 3.

Meanwhile, miffed by the actor walking out on bail, the recently-formed Women in Cinema Collective, led by Dileep’s former wife and actress Manju Warrier, in their Facebook post said on Wednesday that even as the law was taking its course, they were fully behind their fellow actress, who underwent painful moments when she was abducted.
Earlier on October 5, the Malayalam superstar was reinstated as President of the powerful body of film exhibitors. The decision was taken at a hurriedly called executive meeting of the Film Exhibitors United Organisation of Kerala (FEUOK). Antony Perumbavoor, who took over as FEUOK President in July after Dileep’s arrest, told the media that the meeting decided to reinstate the superstar as chief of the film body that was formed in January, earlier this year.
On July 11, Dileep was expelled from the primary membership of Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) after being arrested.
The abduction of the popular actress took place in February when she was on way from Thrissur to Kochi. She was forcibly taken around in her vehicle and allegedly molested for about two hours before being dumped near an actor-director’s home. The key accused — Pulsar Suni and his accomplices involved in the actual abduction — were arrested a week later. After their questioning, police unearthed a conspiracy angle in the abduction and arrested Dileep.
