CB to oppose Dileep’s anticipatory bail plea in High Court

‘When the plea comes up before HC, we will be ready with the counter’
With actor Dileep moving the Kerala High Court for anticipatory bail in the wake of a fresh case registered against him by the Crime Branch (CB) invoking non-bailable charges, the investigation agency has prioritised effectively opposing it.
The Crime Branch on Sunday registered the case against Dileep and five others based on a statement by director Balachandrakumar that the actor had threatened to endanger police officers who were probing the 2017 case of sexual assault on a woman actor, in which Dileep was arraigned as the eighth accused. Dileep’s brother Anoop, brother-in-law Sooraj, Appu, Babu Chengamanad and an identifiable person are the other accused in the case.
“Whenever his plea comes up before the court, we will be ready with the counter,” said investigation sources.
