THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Former jail DGP R Sreelekha has revealed that Dileep was given more facilities while he was in jail in connection with the actress assault case. Sreelekha made the revelation in an interview with a private channel. Earlier, R Sreelekha was criticized for providing facilities to Dileep while she was the jail DGP. She was responding to a question from the anchor regarding the controversy. The former jail DGP said that it was a heartbreaking sight she saw there that prompted her to provide the facilities.

"I went to Aluva sub-jail and what I saw there was heartbreaking. Dileep is lying on the floor with three or four inmates. He was shivering. He tried to get up but fell down. I doubted if he is the same person we see on the screen. He was in such a bad physical state. I tend to soften up quickly. I grabbed him up and took him to the superintendent's room and gave him a tender coconut. I asked to provide him with two mats and a blanket. A doctor was called to correct the balance of his ear. An arrangement was made to give him nutritious food. I will do the same to a regular prisoner. I've done the same to an accused in a murder case who received third degree treatment", Sreelekha said.
