India Today
Kerala police team probing the actor assault case on Friday seized a car owned by actor Dileep that was allegedly used by Pulsar Suni, the prime accused in the assault case.
Kerala crime branch investigation team has seized a car owned by actor Dileep which was allegedly used by Pulsar Suni (NS Sunil), the first accused in actor assault case. Suni is said to have travelled with director Balachandra Kumar in this car over a year before the assault on the actor in Kochi.
The crime branch will reportedly tow the red Maruti Suzuki Swift that was used by the accused and others including Dileep's brother Anoop back in 2016. Dileep has owned the vehicle since 2008 and Balachandra Kumar's statement mentions that he travelled in the vehicle with Suni with whom actor Dileep claims to have no connection with.
Balachandra Kumar who was an acquaintance of Dileep is now a witness in the actor assault case and the subsequent conspiracy case to harm the investigation officers of actor assault case. He had testified that the actor and Suni were close.
As per Balachandra Kumar's statement, he had left in the car with Anoop and Suni on December 8, 2016 from Dileep's residence Padmasarovaram in Aluva.

By confiscating the car, the crime branch is hoping to validate Balachandrakumar's statement which could be crucial in the case.
