Actor Dileep on Wednesday got a two hour break from jail to perform a religious ritual at his home in Aluva. A trial court had last week granted him a two-hour break from the prison. The star has been lodged at the Aluva sub-jail since July 9 for his alleged involvement in the abduction and arrest of a popular Malayalam actress.
A good crowd had gathered before the sub jail near here as Dileep, dressed in a white shirt and jeans and sporting a full-grown beard, was driven to his home.
The house was cordoned off by around 200 policemen and access was only given to immediate family members.
As soon as he arrived after 8 a.m, the rituals started.

His mother, actress wife Kavya Madhavan and his daughter, Meenakshi, amongst others took part in the prayers. The court had instructed him not to use the mobile phone.
After the prayers, he had breakfast with his family. By 10 a.m., he was back in the jail.
By now, all three of Dileep’s bail pleas have been turned down – the first time by a trial court and then twice by the Kerala High Court.
Since early this week, he has been getting a stream of his colleagues from the film industry visiting him at the jail including Jayaram, former minister and actor K.B.Ganesh Kumar and several others.
