Kochi, Jun 29(PTI): Amid the raging row over the decision of industry body Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) to take him back, actor Dileep, facing a sexual assault case, Thursday said he would not be an active worker of any organisation till his innocence was proved.

Dileep's stand in a letter came hours after Women in Cinema Collective (WCC) demanded an emergency executive meeting of the AMMA to discuss the issue and several state ministers attacked him and the film body.

After the February 2017 incident, Dileep had been removed from the association's primary membership.

But in a sudden move, AMMA reinstated his membership on June 24, triggering widespread protests.

The actor was arrested on charges of conspiracy in the case related to the abduction and sexual assault of a south Indian actress in February 2017 and later released on bail.

In his letter to AMMA general secretary Edavela Babu, Dileep said he was saddened by the humiliation the association was being subjected to in his name.

He claimed he was trapped in the case in which he had no role.

"I do not wish to continue as an active worker of any organisation till my innocence is proved before the film folks and people of the state," Dileep said.

The actor also wished all success to new office-bearers of AMMA.

He also expressed gratitude to AMMA for taking a decision in his favour at its previous general body meeting.

The actress, who was assaulted, had resigned on Wednesday from AMMA with three others too putting in their papers to express solidarity with her.

In a letter on Thursday, prominent actors-Revathy, Parvathy and Padmapriya, who are members of WCC, demanded that AMMA convene a meeting immediately to examine the desirability of Dileep's reinstatement.

"We are writing this letter to express our concern as women members of AMMA on the recent decision to bring back the expelled member (Dileep) in the general body meeting held on June 24," they said.
