KOCHI: The probe against actor Dileep in the case of hatching conspiracy to endanger the investigating officials of the actress assault case, has been swiftly going on for days.
Director Balachandra Kumar first revealed about the conspiracy in Nikesh Kumar’s Reporter channel. Following that, the police registered a case against the actor and started an investigation. However, the other day, the police also registered a suo moto case against journalist Nikesh Kumar.
A case was registered against Nikesh for publishing an issue which is under the consideration of the court and for holding discussions without court’s permission. Director Vidhu Vincent came forward criticising the police for their act. Her Facebook post says:

‘Sir, do you have an ounce of shame? The Kerala police have registered a suo moto case against chief editor of Reporter TV, Nikesh Kumar, who had revealed the conspiracy of endangering the investigating officers in the actress assault case. On the other side, the crime branch is probing to figure out the facts behind the allegations. What is this police… this isn’t Uttar Pradesh or Madhya Pradesh to carry out your fun games… Isn’t this Kerala…

Nikesh Kumar is doing his job as a journalist. If you thought that all journalists in Kerala are cowards who will get terrified when you roll your eyes, then keep those misunderstandings aside. I am asking since I don’t know… What kind of a brag is this police?’
