The case was registered on Sunday following a complaint filed by an investigating officer based on a purported audio clip of Dileep, which was released by a TV channel recently in which the actor was allegedly heard conspiring to attack the official.
The new Special Public Prosecutor appointed in the 2017 case of a Kerala actor's kidnapping and sexual assault has quit. This is the second time, in almost a year, that a special public prosecutor has resigned from the high-profile case.
A woman actor was allegedly kidnapped and sexually abused while travelling to Kochi for work in February 2017. There were at least four men, who had allegedly filmed the attack.
