Actor Dileep, an accused in the abduction and sexual assault of a female actor in Kochi, has approached the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court (JFMC) in Angamaly against the leakage of the chargesheet against him through the media.
According to sources, the petition was moved when the actor reached the court around 3.30 p.m on Monday to collect his passport. Citing that the leakage of contents in the chargesheet at this stage would affect the verdict in the case, the petitioner requested the court to seek explanation from the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to this effect.
The SIT had also approached the court seeking to prevent the witness statements being discussed in the public domain.
To Dubai today
Meanwhile, the actor will be leaving for Dubai on Tuesday morning along with his family. He is slated to return on November 30.
Earlier, the High Court had allowed the actor, who is out on bail in the case, to visit Dubai for four days for the opening of a branch of his restaurant chain.
While granting permission, the court directed the JFMC to release his passport for six days.
