KOCHI: The mobile phones belonging to the accused, including actor Dileep, in the case relating to the alleged conspiracy to murder officers investigating the 2017 actor abduction will be submitted before the Kerala High Court on Monday.

Seven mobile phones, including four phones used by Dileep, are required to prove the case, according to the investigation team.

Dileep was using two iPhones and two other mobile phones.Anoop used two mobile phones and TN Suraj one during the specified period. The investigating agency has revealed that Dileep has made more than 12,000 calls using a SIM card in one of the four phones.
