A week before the verdict in the 2017 actress assault case, a signed anonymous letter claimed to know the outcome — naming which accused would be acquitted or convicted. The Kerala High Court Advocates’ Association (KHCAA) forwarded the letter to the Chief Justice, calling it a “serious breach of confidentiality” and demanding a formal investigation into how the verdict details leaked. The letter alleged the verdict in Dileep’s case was pre-decided: it predicted his discharge along with two others, with only six of the 12 original accused convicted. The episode has raised concerns about judicial transparency and the integrity of sensitive court proceedings. (PC: The Hindu)
