In a shocking turn of events, Dileep's manager Appunni surrendered before the Aluva police today in connection with the Malayalam actress assault case.
The Kerala High Court had rejected his anticipatory bail.
Earlier in July 26, actress and wife of actor Dileep, Kavya Madhavan, has been interrogated by the investigation team in the same case.
The prime accused 'Pulsar' Sunil had told the investigation team that after committing the crime, he had come to Lakshya, an online marketing firm run by Kavya at Kakkanad in Kochi.
Upon his statement, the police had conducted a raid at Lakshya.
The Kerala High Court had earlier rejected the bail plea of actor Dileep, who was arrested on conspiracy charges in the molestation case of a Malayalam actress.
Bail was denied on the grounds that the actor could possibly influence the witnesses in the case.
