Mukeh admitted that the main accused in the assault case Pulsar Suni was his driver during an AMMA show in 2013, where, according to the police, the first plot to attack the actress was hatched. Mueksh said he fired Suni after his car met with an accident. According to police, Suni had also come to a hotel in Ernakulam during the AMMA show in 2013 as Mukesh's driver. However, Mukesh said Suni was not given VVIP ticket to the show. As per the police story, Suni got close to Dileep during the show and the conspiracy was hatched there.
Mukesh also told police that another driver, who was recommended by Suni, had fled with his Rs 1 lakh.
In Dileep's wife Kavya Madhavan's statement to the police also she had disclosed that her husband nursed a grudge against the young actress, who was brutally attacked in a moving car in Kochi on February 17.
According to the statement, Kavya said the victim had played a role in causing discord in Dileep's marital life with his first wife Manju Warrier, who is also a popular heroine in Malayalam cinema. Apparently, this had infuriated Dileep.
However, she did not say Dileep had any role in the heinous crime. The actress, who has also worked in Tamil and Telugu films, was abducted and assaulted inside her car for two hours on February 17 night in Kochi. Dileep was arrested on July 10 for plotting the attack and hiring goons to assault the actress and videotape the crime. Dileep is currently out on bail.
