KOCHI: The WhatsApp chat between former DGP R Sreelekha and actor Dileep has surfaced. The chats were released by the Reporter channel. The chat between the two was obtained a few months ago when the mirror images of Dileep's phones were taken at the Mumbai forensic lab.

The WhatsApp chat has surfaced at a time when a controversy erupted after Sreelekha said that Dileep was not a suspect in the actress assault case. It is clear from the WhatsApp chat records that the two have spoken on different days from May 5 to July 1 through WhatsApp.

On May 23, 2021, at 10.22 in the morning, Dileep sent a message to Sreelekha saying, 'Madam, I hope you are well, I am Dileep... actor'. He then called her again at 2.12 pm. Dileep also sent a message saying, 'Please call me back when you are free'. Sreelekha later sent back a message revealing that she was happy to talk to Dileep. To this, Dileep replied, 'I am also happy that we were able to talk.' At 3.39 pm, Sreelekha sent the link of her YouTube channel and asked him to watch it when he had time.

On July 1, 2021, Sreelekha once again sent a message to Dileep about her YouTube channel. 'This is my own YouTube channel. You must share and subscribe. I'm doing it alone,' her message read.

Sreelekha came forward with allegations against the police through her YouTube channel. She said the picture of Dileep with Pulsar Suni was fake and that it would increase the credibility of the police if they say that they made a mistake in arresting the actor.
