Thiruvananthapuram: Actor Dileep, jailed in Kerala's Kochi in connection with the kidnapping and sexual assault of an actress in February, had offered Rs 3 crore to the kidnappers, the High Court was told today.
The prosecution told the court that Dileep offered main accused Pulsar Suni Rs 1.50 crore for the kidnapping and double the amount if he was caught by the police.
