Malayalam actor Dileep has walked free after years of litigation, public debate, and intense media attention. On Monday, the Ernakulam Principal Sessions Court cleared him of all charges in connection with the high-profile 2017 actress assault case, bringing a dramatic chapter of Kerala’s entertainment world to a close.

The decision comes after a long legal battle in which Dileep was accused of plotting the crime and hiring those who carried it out. He was listed as the eighth accused in the case.
