KOCHI: A special investigation team has been appointed to probe into the latest revelations in the actress attack case. The special team was formed under the leadership of Crime Branch Chief S Sreejith. The investigation is being carried out by a team led by DySP Baiju Paul. The new team was appointed in the wake of DGP B Sandhya, who had earlier probed the case, heading the fire force.

Director Balachandra Kumar made the revelations against Dileep in the case last day. Following this, the court had given permission to take the secret statement of the director. Director Balachandra Kumar has recently released audio recordings of people including actor Dileep trying to sabotage the case and obstruct the trial.

Police have not been able to find the memory card of the phone that captured the attack on the actress. However, the director revealed that actor Dileep saw all the attack scenes. The director had also released some WhatsApp messages proving his statements. It is believed that the purpose behind the appointment of the Special Investigation Team is to look into the matter in detail.
