The Kerala government has accused actor Dileep of attempting to disrupt the trial process in the 2017 sexual assault case involving a prominent actress. In an affidavit submitted to the Supreme Court, the state claims Dileep's legal team has engaged in extensive and prolonged cross-examinations of witnesses, notably taking 87 days to question the lead investigator, which has delayed the trial significantly. The affidavit opposes the bail application of Pulsar Suni, the prime accused, citing concerns that if granted bail, he might threaten the survivor's privacy by releasing sensitive visual evidence or attempt to abscond from the legal process. The government argues that Dileep's actions are aimed at undermining the prosecution's case and prolonging the trial indefinitely. The Supreme Court is set to hear Suni's bail plea soon, with the state urging its dismissal to protect the integrity of the ongoing trial.
