KOCHI: Actor Dileep, an accused in the Kochi actor attack case, has come out with the clarification that he resigned from AMMA to put an end to controversies surrounding the case.

“I resigned on my own and I was not expelled. I’m very much aware that as per the bylaw if AMMA wants to expel me, there should be majority support for that in the general body. But I gave the resignation letter after discussion with Mohanlal as I didn’t want to see AMMA getting destroyed in my name. Once the resignation letter is accepted by AMMA, it is resignation and not expulsion,” Dileep said.
