The
Kerala
Crime
Branch
probing
the
case
against
Dileep
relating
to
conspiracy
to
do
away
with
the
investigation
officers
probing
the
actress
assault
case,
has
now
claimed
that
the
actor
deleted
his
chat
history
with
as
many
as
12
contacts.
The
specialized
investigation
wing
has
reportedly
submitted
to
the
Aluva
magistrate
court
that
one
of
the
contacts
was
that
of
a
popular
Mollywood
actress,
which
he
had
erased
before
handing
it
over
to
the
officials
for
forensic
analysis.
According
to
reports,
the
other
contacts
that
were
deleted
included
that
of
a
Dubai-based
businessman
who
is
also
the
CEO
of
Sharjah
Cricket
Association,
Dileep's
partner
of
Dhe
Puttu
(his
popular
restaurant
chain)
in
Dubai,
his
wife
Kavya
Madhavan,
brother-in-law
Suraj
and
many
others.
They
further
revealed
that
the
chats
are
beyond
recovery
and
were
erased
under
the
guidance
of
a
cyber
expert.
Though
the
reason
behind
deleting
the
chats
is
not
known,
Crime
Branch
also
suspects
that
the
act
was
perpetrated
to
divert
the
investigation
process.
