Ready to take a narco analysis test in actress’ abduction case: Dileep

kochi — Malayalam superstar Dileep on Monday alleged that certain online sites and TV channels were trying to malign his reputation by linking him to the abduction of a leading actress earlier this year and said he is prepared to undergo narco analysis and brain mapping to prove his innocence.

Dileep, who is shooting in Tenji in Tamil Nadu district, in a Facebook post declared that he was in no way connected to the abduction of the popular actress in February this year. “I wish to make it very clear that I am in no way involved in any case. For long a section in the social media, certain online sites besides certain TV channels have conspired against me and are determined to malign me. All this is being done to take away my fans.

“This is also happening at a time when my new films are to be released shortly. I am ready to take part in any tests, including narco analysis, brain mapping, to clear myself and not to make someone else an accused,” Dileep posted.

Ever since the actress kidnap in February, for some strange reason the name of Dileep has been linked to the case. Last week, the case took a turn with popular Malayalam film personalit­y, Nadir Shah, alleging that he received a call from a close aide of Pulsar Suni, the prime accused arrested in the kidnap case, linking Dileep to the case.

Shah, a film actor and director, told reporters that in March he got a call from a person by name Vishnu, who asked him to tell Dileep that if the latter does not give him Rs15 million he would be forced to inform police that the superstar was involved in the conspiracy to kidnap the popular actress.

On Sunday night, the Kochi police arrested Vishnu and his aide for this blackmaili­ng.

Ernakulam rural superinten­dent of police A.V. George confirmed to the media that the arrest of Vishnu and his aide has been recorded. Both were taken to the home of a magistrate and have been remanded in judicial custody. —
