Kochi: The main accused in the February 17 actress attack case, Pulsar Suni, has revealed that the madam, who allegedly masterminded the crime, was actor Dileep's wife and actress Kavya Madhavan.
"Kavya is my madam. Didn't I tell you that earlier?" Suni asked reporters as he was being taken to the Ernakulam CJM court Wednesday.
Interestingly, Suni began his latest disclosure rant on a 'philosophical' note. "Am I not a thief? Why should you listen to a thief's confessions?" He then went on to make the all-important revelation regarding Kavya.
Kavya had repeatedly denied having ever known Suni, even after Dileep was arrested for allegedly plotting the attack.

Reports had earlier linked Suni with Kavya, stating that he had worked as her car driver. Kavya reportedly confessed to the police that Suni had called Dileep from her phone and that she had given Rs 25,000 to Suni as per the actor's instructions.
Suni had said that it was the 'madam' who gave him the money to carry out the heinous crime. But he added that
she was not the aware of the conspiracy to abduct and assault the young woman.
He had also said that he would reveal the name of a woman, who was allegedly behind the conspiracy, on August 16. However, he was not taken to the court in person on the said date.
Media have been on a virtual guessing game about the woman, whom Suni refers to as madam.
The seasoned criminal has been throwing hints every time he came across TV cameras. It was Suni's revelation regarding the alleged conspiracy in the case that led to the arrest of Dileep.
Last month, ADGP B. Sandhya-led special investigation team had quizzed Kavya at her residence in Aluva.
Kavya was questioned after allegations that Suni had handed over the mobile phone, in which the crime was recorded, and a memory card to someone associated with the actress. The police are yet to retrieve the memory card and the phone.
