Police say not worried by PR efforts for Malayalam superstar Dileep

Thiruvanthapuram, July 16: The Kerala Police say they are not worried about the so-called PR efforts for Malayalam superstar Dileep, who was arrested in connection with the abduction and molestation of a popular actress. Since Friday, local and online media have reported about a leading PR agency being appointed for damage control to protect the actor’s sagging image.
The agency is believed to be very active on social media, trying to save his image from further deterioration. Inspector General of Police Manoj Abraham told IANS if at all, there are any PR efforts being done by anyone, there is nothing illegal in it. “Carrying out PR is anyone’s rights. The problem arises if there is any violation of cyber rules and regulations. The Kerala Police Cyberdome is not looking into this PR excercise at all,” said Abraham.
The Cyberdome is a Kerala Police watchdog. Seven times legislator (independent) P.C. George told IANS that this is nothing but a fabricated case. “Dileep has been trapped by a powerful group and tomorrow (Monday) when I am in the state capital to cast my vote in the presidential polls, I will give a letter to Chief Minister Pirayi Vijayan seeking a CBI probe into the case,” said George. Late Saturday, Dileep’s bail plea was rejected by the trial court at Angamaly near Kochi. On Monday, he will file a fresh bail application at the Kerala High Court.
Dileep was arrested on Monday night, and on Tuesday he was remanded in 14-day judicial custody. (IANS)
