The Angamaly (Kochi) judicial magistrate court on Saturday turned down Malayalam superstar Dileep’s bail plea and remanded him in judicial custody till July 25. Dileep was arrested last week in connection with the abduction and rape of a popular actress four months ago. The public prosecutor opposed the superstar’s bail application, stating that he could use his clout to influence witnesses and weaken the ongoing investigation. He also submitted two mobile phones used by the actor for further tests. The assailants recorded the assault on their mobile phones and threatened to release the clip if she dared approach the police.
