Dileep, who is facing jail time after he was accused of orchestrating the abduction and assault of a popular Malayalam actress in February this year, is reportedly unwell. According to an Asianet report, the actor is believed to be suffering from Labyrinthitis, an inflammation of the inner ear that causes nausea, dizziness, and inability to stand properly.
According to a Mathrubhumi report, Dileep’s condition deteriorated owing to mental tension, and sleeping on the floor. Jail authorities had given him medicines, but they later got doctors to visit the actor and examine him.

The report further states that the actor could’ve been shifted to a hospital, but the jail superintendent decided against it owing to security reasons.
The actor, who was arrested by the Kerala police on July 10, has been facing jail time ever since it came to light that he had offered Rs 2 crore to prime accused Pulsar Suni to assault the actress and shoot a video of her.
Dileep’s remand period ends tomorrow, wherein his new counsel, B Raman Pillai, is expected to file a plea asking the court not to extend his judicial custody any further.
