Kerala Congress leader and MLA Ganesh Kumar, who visited Dileep in jail, has said that those who received favours from Dileep before his arrest should support him during his tough times.
According to PTI, Ganesh Kumar said, “Dileep has done many favours to a lot of people in this industry. They should support him and stand by him until he is proved guilty. No one can be called a culprit before his crime his proved by the court. People who had got help from Dileep are apprehensive to support him fearing police harassment.”
The film actor-turned politician said this after meeting Dileep in Aluva sub-jail where he has been lodged following his arrest in July in connection with abduction and molestation of an actress.
Dileep’s second bail application was rejected by the Kerala High Court last week.

Meanwhile, according to a report in Manorama Online, Girish from Aluva, has lodged a complaint with the DGP prisons, alleging that Dileep has been receiving special privileges in the jail. He allegedly said, “Dileep has been spending a long time in jail superintendent’s AC room. Though visitors are not allowed, many have been visiting Dileep in jail ever since the arrest. How can a person arrested for hatching a plot to kidnap and assault get privileges in jail?”
While Dileep spent Onam in jail, actor Jayaram visited him with traditional Onakkodi on Monday. Director-writer Renjith, producer Alvin Antony, actors Nadhirshah, Suresh Krishna and Harisree Asokan have also visited him.
