In a surprise development, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Malayalam actress assault case, has revealed that they may not have to file the chargesheet soon.

The state police chief Loknath Behera, who met the journalists today, said that there's no immediate urgency to file the chargesheet.

"As of now, there is no immediate need to file the chargesheet in court. Investigation is still going on. The team is preparing the chargesheet," he said.

This move comes a day after Dileep was released on bail after 85 days of judicial custody for allegedly conspiring the assault on actress.

Talking about the actor's release, DGP said, "It cannot be seen as an error from the part of prosecution. We accept the court order."

Earlier, sources in the investigation team had said that they will file the chargesheet before October 8. Failing which the actor would be eligible for a normal bail since he completed 90 days of judicial custody without trial.

Dileep was arrested on July 10 this year for his alleged involvement in the actress assault case. Dileep was lodged in a sub-jail in Aluva after he was charged for conspiring the attack with prime accused Sunil Kumar aka Pulsar Suni.

After 4 failed attempts, the Kerala High Court granted him bail yesterday observing that there was sufficient progress in the investigation. The court also observed that the actor does not have criminal record.
