It was in June that Nadirsha and actor Dileep were first quizzed by police in the abduction case. After a marathon 13-hour grilling both were let off.
However, on July 10, Dileep was arrested after further questioning and since then, he has been lodged at the Aluva sub-jail. Three of his bail applications have been turned down by the court till now.

The actress abduction took place in February as she was on her way from Thrissur to Kochi.
The actress was taken around in her vehicle forcefully for about two hours, assaulted and later dumped near actor-director Lal's home, from where the police were informed.
The key accused in the crime Pulsar Suni and his accomplices were arrested a week later and following detailed questioning, the police unearthed the conspiracy angle in the abduction and arrested Dileep.
