Crime Branch with hope

On the day of the conspiracy, the actress will be questioned at Dileep’s house. The details of those who visited Dileep while he was in jail have also been collected. Director Balachandra Kumar, who was present at the time, told the Crime Branch that a political leader from Thiruvananthapuram Vithura had visited Dileep along with an actor and talked to him about Dileep’s financial dealings.
