SP Mohanachandran and Dy SP Baiju Paulose of Kerala Police were present to take Kavya`s statement. The questioning reportedly went on for 4 hours. 
 
Incidentally, Paulose was the one who led the 2017 actress abduction case probe, while Mohanachandran is at present leading the case in which Dileep is an accused and out on bail after his former friend and director Balachandrakumar came out in the open and claimed that Dileep had said that he would eliminate police officials who had investigated the case.

Though the probe team had served a notice to her to appear before them, she contested that since she is only a witness in the 2017 case, it should take place at a place which she wishes. 
 
Even though she agreed to present herself before the probe team at her house, it was shot down by the probe team, last month. Eventually, the team did speak to her at her home near Kochi, the capital of the south Indian state of Kerela.&nbsp; 
 
Earlier, the probe team had recovered a few audio clips that allegedly contain references to Kavya. The police also questioned her if she had any previous links with Pulsar Sunil, one of the prime accused in the case. 
 
A leading south Indian actress had complained that she had been abducted and sexually assaulted by a gang of goons in 2017 and filmed the assault to blackmail her. 
 
After the main accused Sunil was arrested and questioned, Dileep was accused of being the main conspirator in the case and arrested. 
 
According to the prosecution, Dileep, who is presently out on bail after spending two months in jail, had also seen the visuals of the attack on the actress.

Actor Dileep's plea in actress abduction case dismissed by trial court

The Supreme Court on Monday decided to hear actor Dileep`s plea on December 11; he had approached the top court seeking a copy of the digital evidence of the alleged assault of a noted south Indian actress, in which he is facing trial. 
 
A bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar and Hemant Gupta said they will see if the memory card, containing the clip, is "material or document" which is part of police report under the Evidence Act. The bench said it will also consider provisions under the Information and Technology Act.

Rohatgi sought time to prove that the memory card is a document under section 207 of CrPC, after which the court posted the matter for December 11.
