WATCH: Kerala HC accepts Dileep's bail plea, hearing on July 20

Dileep, who was arrested on the charges of criminal conspiracy in the Malayalam actress abduction case, moved the Kerala High Court after his bail plea was rejected by a court in Angamaly. The Kerala High Court on Monday has accepted the actor's plea and has postponed the hearing further on Thursday (July 20).

The defence argued that the police are trying to fix Dileep based on accusations made by the prime accused, Pulsar Suni. They alleged that it is a huge conspiracy to malign the reputation of the Malayalam superstar.

Dileep's arrest saw widespread outrage in Kerala. So much so that Dhe Puttu, a restaurant owned by Dileep was vandalised and damaged by an angry mob. In fact, the actor's effigies were burnt in several places.
