Court Releases Dileep's Passport After Acquittal in Actress Assault Case

Actor Dileep's passport has been released by the Ernakulam District Court following his acquittal in the 2017 actress assault case. Despite initial objections, the prosecution raised no objection in the latest hearing. Dileep had surrendered his passport as a bail condition after his 2017 arrest.

The Ernakulam District and Principal Sessions Court ordered the release of actor Dileep's passport on Thursday, following his acquittal in the high-profile 2017 actress assault case.

The decision, made by Judge Honey M Varghese, came after the prosecution offered no objections, despite earlier indicating plans to appeal the acquittal.

Dileep had initially surrendered his passport in 2017 as a bail condition; however, he was previously allowed to travel abroad for business and film promotions during the trial.
