Actor-director Nadir Shah on Friday
developed uneasiness soon after he appeared before the probe team in
the Malayalam actress' kidnapping case at the Aluva Police Club here.
The questioning would now take place on another day, said a police
official.
Superintendent of Police A.V. George told the media "Shah's blood
pressure and sugar levels showed variation and he was declared unfit
for questioning by medical professionals".
"The questioning will now take place once he is fit and the High Court
would be told about this decision," said George.
Earlier this month, Shah was asked to appear before the probe team and
at that time, he was admitted in a hospital. After a few days, he was
discharged following which he approached the High Court, seeking
anticipatory bail.
Hearing his plea, the court directed him to appear before the probe
team on Friday.
The court also directed the probe team not to arrest him till September
18, when the court looks into his anticipatory bail plea again.
On Friday, for the second time, Shah appeared before police.
He arrived at the club at 9.45 a.m and shortly thereafter, a team of
medical professionals drove into the club to examine him and declared
him unfit.
It was in June, Shah and actor Dileep first appeared for questioning
and after a marathon 13-hour questioning, both were left-off.
But on July 10, Dileep was arrested after further questioning and since
then, he is in Aluva sub-jail, even as three of his bail peas were
turned down.
On Thursday, he filed his fourth bail, which would be heard by the
trial court near here on Saturday.
The abduction took place in February, when the actress was on her way
from Thrissur to Kochi.
She was taken around in her vehicle forcefully for about two hours
before being dumped near actor-director Lal's home, from where the
police were informed.
The key accused -- Pulsar Suni and his accomplices involved in the
actual abduction -- were arrested a week later and following detailed
questioning, police unearthed the conspiracy angle in the abduction and
arrested Dileep.
