Dileep and five others were booked by the police for allegedly plotting a conspiracy to murder police officials who are investigating the actor assault case of 2017, earlier this year. This

happened even when the trial of the actor assault case, in which Dileep is an alleged mastermind, was going on. The conspiracy case was filed against Dileep and others based on a complaint

filed by DySP Baiju Paulose who is investigating the case. Director Balachandra Kumar made a series of allegations against the actor and in November last year, he released a number of audio

clips, purportedly of Dileep and his relatives, plotting the murder of investigating officials of the case. Dileep is already out on bail in the actor assault case.
