Actor Dileep's mother writes to Kerala Chief Minister, calls her son innocent

Dileep has been lodged at the Aluva jail for over a month now

Calling her son innocent, Malayalam actor Dileep's mother has written to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Sarojam Pillai in her letter has requested the Chief Minister's intervention in the case to ensure justice for her son.

"My son will never commit such a crime. He is innocent and is being framed. I request you to intervene in the case and ensure that my son gets justice," the letter reads. The letter has been handed over to Kerala police chief Loknath Behera. The letter was submitted to the Chief Minister's office after Sarojam Pillai's attempt to meet Pinarayi Vijayan during his visit to Kochi remained futile.

The letter comes on the close heels of Dileep's bail petition in the High Court where the actor has been described as a 'family man'. The petition said that his daughter chose to continue living with him instead of going to ex-wife, Manju Warrier and the same went on to show that he was a 'good, responsible family man'.

The detailed bail petition and Dileep's mother's letter is being viewed as an extension of a campaign to paint a sympathetic picture of Dileep who has been named an accused in the actress abduction and molestation case. Dileep was arrested in July and has spent more than a month in Aluva sub-jail. Dileep has also accused his ex-wife Manju Warrier of conspiring to frame him in the case.

Dileep's mother wrote a letter to the Chief Minister after she met the actor at the Aluva jail last week. Dileep's bail petitions have been turned down multiple times ever since his arrest.
