CPM leaders are likely to raise the issue in the district committee soon. Sources close to the party said the district committee may seek an explanation from the actor.
The AMMA press meet, after its general body meeting in Kochi, saw high drama as some of office-bearers including Mukesh, K.B. Ganesh Kumar, and Devan expressed displeasure when some questions were raised.
In a heated reaction to media queries, actor Mukesh, asked mediapersons to stop asking unnecessary questions. Asked whether there was any move to alienate Dileep, Mukesh, looking upset, rose from his seat and said, "Can't you see Dileep is sitting with us."
The office-bearers unequivocally maintained that the probe into the case was moving in the right direction and that the members of AMMA stood united.
Meanwhile, Congress workers burned Mukesh, Ganesh Kumar and Innocent in effigy, accusing them of degrading the standard of politicians. DCC president Bindu Krishna alleged that the government was sabotaging the probe.
