Answering the court's queries, the DGP said the reasons for delay would be investigated and one of the reasons probably could be his close association with the actor.
Why was there a delay of around four years by Balachandra Kumar in revealing the alleged conspiracy by actor Dileep and others to threaten and kill the officials probing the 2017 actress assault and would it not suggest an "ill motive" on his part, the Kerala High Court asked the Crime Branch on Thursday.
"What was his (Mr Kumar's) explanation for the delay in making the revelation? He was having the recordings right from inception. He was close to the accused' family all this time. Will it not suggest an ill motive on the part of Balachandra Kumar," Justice Ziyad Rahman A A asked the investigating agency.
The queries were posed to the agency, represented by Director General of Prosecution (DGP) TA Shaji and Additional Public Prosecutor P Narayanan, by the court during hearing of the actor's plea seeking to quash the murder conspiracy FIR or to transfer the case to the CBI for investigation.
Answering the court's queries, the DGP said the reasons for delay would be investigated and one of the reasons probably could be his close association with the actor.
