Breaking her silence on the arrest of
Malayalam superstar Dileep in her abduction case, the actress on
Thursday said she was as shocked as anyone else by the turn of events
and that she just wants the truth to come out fast.
"He (Dileep) says that he has been framed in the case. The need of the
hour is that the truth should come out. If he is innocent, it should
come out quickly and if not, even then the truth should come out fast.
All are equal before law," she said.
The actress added that she is coming out through a statement as she is
not in the right frame of mind to come before TV channels and speak.
Actor Dileep, who uses just one name, was arrested on Monday in
connection with the abduction and molestation of the actress in
February and was sent to two days police custody on Tuesday by a lower
court near here.
His bail application is coming up on Friday.
The actress said that the two shared a cordial relationship but for
some reason it got strained.
"There are reports that I had real estate dealings with him (Dileep),
but the truth is that there has been no such deals with him at all. I
did not say this before, because such a thing was never heard and now
that it's being said so I am clarifying it," added the actress.
She also clarified that she does not have a Facebook page or a Twitter
handle and anything on these social networking platforms by her name is
false.
"My sincere wish is no innocent person should be punished and none who
has committed a crime should be allowed to escape," she added.
The Malayalam actress was abducted on February 17 while travelling from
Thrissur to Kochi by road in her car and allegedly sexually assaulted.
