THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Former jail DGP R Sreelekha’s revelation that actor Dileep is innocent in the actor assault case and that the police had fabricated evidence against him, has stoked a major controversy. Many people from different parts of the society came down heavily on Sreelekha. When I heard that I didn't feel like sitting idle and directly responded to the officer, said dubbing artist Bhagyalakshmi.

‘I had a lot of respect towards Sreelekha but when heard her response, criticized her personally through WhatsApp. It is a very sad thing. She may have protected such accused in many ways. We will understand whether Dileeep has committed the crime or not when the case is over. Until then he is an accused. Sreelekha had not spoken to the survivor till this moment. She is doing all this just for fame,’ said Bhagyalakshmi.

Meantime, Sreelekha's open statement that all the evidence produced against Dileep by the police is false may be used as a weapon by the defence lawyer in the court. Dileep’s advocates are likely to produce Sreelekha's video in court as evidence against the police. They may even demand to cross examine Sreelekha.
