Dileep blackmailed in actress assault case!

The actress' assault case which rocked Mollywood has a new twist now.

Actor, director and Dileep's close friend

Nadirsha

has alleged that Vishnu, a co-prisoner of Pulsar Suni, the accused in the assault case, called him up saying that unless Dileep paid him an amount of Rs 1.5 crore, he would cite him as the mastermind behind the crime. Nadirsha has turned over the recorded phone conversation to Dileep, who, in turn, passed it over to the Kerala DGP Lokanath Behera, and filed a case.

Dileep has asked for a thorough investigation of the case, adding that he would be at the forefront. Dileep's driver has also received a message from Vishnu, according to reports.

Meanwhile, Nadirsha reveals that the caller said major names in the Malayalam film industry including actors, actresses, directors and producers are behind the blackmailing. However, he does not believe that people from the Malayalam film industry would trap a colleague in such a case, he added. Investigation is on for the case filed by Dileep.
