No Material In Murder Conspiracy FIR To Make Out Offences: Actor Dileep

The latest FIR accuses actor Dileep and others of conspiring to kill and threaten officials probing the 2017 Kerala actress assault case.

Actor Dileep on Tuesday contended before the Kerala High Court that there was absence of any material in the murder conspiracy FIR to indicate commission of any of the offences attributed to the accused and the entire case was based on something allegedly "wished" by him.

He also claimed before the high court that offences in the latest FIR, accusing him and others of conspiring to kill and threaten officials probing the 2017 actress assault case, were non-cognizable and therefore, it could not have been registered without prior permission from a magistrate.

The submissions were made before Justice Ziyad Rahman A A by Dileep's lawyers during hearing of his plea to either quash the FIR or transfer the probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

The actor claimed that there was no human being who has not thought ill of another person, but that cannot be the cause for alarm or a basis for lodging an FIR.
