Former MP Sebastian Paul supports Dileep; Aashiq Abu crticises him

Actor Dileep's arrest shocked everyone in the Malayalam industry. At one hand some celebs preferred to pay a visit to him in jail to support him in his odd days whereas some are writing articles. This time Sebastian Paul has shown his support but his post didn't seem to go down well with some sections of celebs.  

In the latest development of Malayalam actress abduction case is the growing support of Malayalam celebs to the actor in his odd days.  

The latest one to join the list is former MP and media personality Sebastian Paul. Sebastian has written an article for the Malayalam website.

Here’s an excerpt from the article, he wrote, "Dileep has spent 60 days in jail. This is a crucial milestone in the remand phase. the next one is 90. In order to refuse the natural justice of bail, the police will submit a chargesheet by then. On the basis of the chargesheet, the police will object to the bail plea. Now that’s the police side. The criminal law and the constitution warns us not to trust the police version. Unfortunately, magistrates and the judges are not taking this warning into consideration. They have placed their trust in the police and are being guided by the simple logic that there wont be smoke without fire. They will also raise the humanitarian question of taking into consideration the situation of the victim.” 

In the same article, he has compared Dileep’s persecution with that of Jesus Christ, he wrote, “We should never forget the people who are behind bars. I am a person who believes in a prisoner and worships him. That, the Romans did not give justice to him is an accusation made by time, not me.”

However, not many have agreed with his views and the article has drawn a lot of flak from prominent people. Among many is Aashiq Abu. Aashiq Abu took to Facebook & wrote, “Giving money to a gunda gang for sexually assaulting and shooting the visuals on mobile to take revenge is the charge imposed on Dileep . As Sreenivasan said the firm belief, just before the arrest of people like me who know an intelligent person like Dileep, was that he won’t do such a foolish act.”

Well, what other twist and turns will take place, only time will tell.
