The verdict in the high-profile 2017 Kerala actress abduction and sexual assault case, involving Malayalam actor Dileep as the eighth accused, is scheduled to be pronounced on December 8, 2025, by the Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court. The case revolves around the kidnapping and sexual assault of a female actor inside a moving car near Kochi on February 17, 2017. Dileep faces charges of criminal conspiracy and is alleged to have orchestrated the attack out of a personal grudge. The trial commenced in January 2020 and has lasted over eight years, involving around 1,700 documents and 261 witnesses. Dileep was arrested in July 2017 and spent 85-88 days in judicial custody before being granted bail. Despite ongoing legal proceedings, he remains active in the film industry[1][2][3][5][6][9]. The prosecution argues that Dileep conspired with other accused, including prime accused Pulsar Suni, to abduct and assault the actress. There were also allegations against Dileep attempting to access confidential video footage of the assault, leading to a separate inquiry. The sensitive nature of the case led to in-camera court proceedings. Several witnesses turned hostile during the trial. The verdict is expected to have significant implications for Dileep's future[1][2][3][7][11]. In summary, the December 8 verdict will conclude a long and highly publicized trial concerning the abduction and sexual assault of a Kerala actress, with actor Dileep accused of conspiring in the crime[1][2][3].
