Dileep Acquitted, Other Accused Convicted in Actress Assault Case
Kochi: In a landmark verdict delivered today, actor Dileep, the eighth accused in the high-profile actress assault case, has been acquitted. The court, however, found the first six accused guilty.
Anticipating a large public gathering, police implemented tight security measures around the Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court ahead of the verdict announcement. Ernakulam Central AC Raj Kumar and the full police force were present. Concerns about crowd control led to the deployment of additional officers from early morning. Restrictions were also placed on media personnel.
The court proceedings, marking the end of an eight-year legal battle and a six-year fight for justice by the survivor, began around 11 AM. The verdict marks a significant turn in a case that has gripped public attention for years.
