The victim also has audio evidences to prove the same. This lead to the divorce between Manju Warrier and Dileep which lead to enmity between Dileep and the victim.

In 2013, during the rehearsal of a channel programme, Kavya Madhavan complained that the victim had been making derogatory comments about her and Dileep. This lead to an argument between Dileep and the victim.

Following the incident, Dileep made many attempts to expel the victim actress from the industry.

Chargesheet says that Dileep conspired with Pulsar Suni to carry out the assault so as to teach her a lesson. The conspiracy and criminal planning was carried out at hotel rooms and locations of various films.

Dileep asked Suni to shoot a gangrape video of the victim. He was offered a ransom of 1.5 crores for the same. Suni also received over a lakh from Dileep as advance.

Though, Suni and co accused tried to attack the victim in Goa while she was at the shooting set of another movie, it didn't succeed. After multiple attempts and clear planning the team carried out the attack on February 17, 2017 after abducting the victim while she was returning home from Thrissur.

After the incident Suni visited 'Lakshya' a boutique shop run by Dileep's present wife Kavya Madhavan, says the chargesheet.

First 7 accused have been charged with sections of gang rape. Dileep and the remaining 4 have been charged with criminal conspiracy along with gangrape.

The detailed chargesheet have 385 witnesses and 12 confidential statements. More than 50 film professionals are in the list of witnesses.
