Commenting on the recent development, a police source told TNM, "We had a doubt regarding this, but we cannot confirm this right now."

The Kerala police is trying to get documents regarding the marriage from the registrar office in Desom of Aluva.

Media reports had suggested that Dileep’s long-time friend and associate actor Abi had been questioned by the police regarding this. However, Abi denied that he was questioned, however he told News 18 that he too had heard about Dileep’s first wedding.

“My statement was not taken. There is no basis for that news. I have heard that this person (Dileep aka Gopalakrishnan) had married earlier. But I am not a witness to it. I don't even know where it took place. I know that he had married some girl he had loved. I don't know what happened later. Whether they got divorced or separated. This was not a new thing. I have heard that they were in love and someone had taken them to a registrar. Everyone knew this then," he added.
