The Kerala High Court Today (Jan 6) declined a CBI probe into the death of ADM Naveen Babu, allegedly driven to suicide by CPI (M) leader PP Divya’s public corruption accusations. While rejecting the plea by Babu’s widow, the court directed the SIT to expedite its investigation under DIG supervision, explore possible homicidal hanging, and inform the widow of progress. Concerns were raised about political shielding, witness intimidation, and inadequate evidence preservation, but the state defended the SIT’s impartiality.
