Don't call Manju Warrier for another trial, Kavya's parents being interrogated to delay trial; Dileep to SC in actress assault case

KOCHI: Actor Dileep against retrial of Manju Warrier in actress assault case. Dileep gave a fresh affidavit in the Supreme Court, showing that the reasons put forward by the prosecution for investigation are false. The affidavit alleges that the retrial of Manju Warrier is to fill the gaps in the evidence and the re-interrogation of Kavya Madhavan's father and mother is to prolong the trial.

The prosecution approached the trial court seeking retrial of Manju Warrier to identify the voices of Dileep, his brother, sister and sister-in-law in the voice clip produced by director Balachandra Kumar. A forensic report regarding the voice clips is pending before the trial court. The prosecution wanted to question Kavya's father Madhavan to know the details related to the opening of the locker in the bank. Dileep alleged that the police and survivor prosecution are trying to do this to prolong the trial without completing it on time. On Friday, the bench chaired by Justice Dinesh Maheshwari will consider the arguments of Dileep.
