The molestation and abduction of a popular Malayalam actress was the most shocking and shameful event in the industry this year, and actor Dileep was named 8th accused in the case. According to the testimonies given by various actresses on Dileep, it has been clear that he had grudges on the assaulted actress as he believed her to have caused trouble leading to his divorce with Manju Warrier.
Manju Warrier, ex-wife of Dileep said that she had seen messages between Kavya Madhavan and Dileep, and had informed it to her friends Samyuktha, Geethu and the assaulted actor, with the assaulted actress confirming it. When Manju herself asked Dileep, he had refused to say that the assaulted actress was ignorant and that she didn't know anything.
Singer Rimi Tomy said that herself and the assaulted actress had seen Dileep and Kavya together many times, and their closeness was captured and sent by the assaulted actress to Manju which had also irked Dileep who quarreled with her. Even when Rimi called Kavya to inform on the unfortunate attack on the assaulted actress, Kavya had given a cold response. Other than Rimi, Samyuktha Varma and Actor kunchako Boban too have testified of Dileep's motives against the assaulted actress as he believed her to be the reason for his separation from Manju Warrier.
