The Thalassery Sessions Court granted regular bail to PP Divya, who is accused of abetting the suicide of ADM Naveen Babu. Babu was found dead following a farewell ceremony, where Divya suggested his involvement in bribery. Despite initial denial of anticipatory bail, her regular bail request has been accepted.
The Kerala Court denied anticipatory bail to former Kannur District Panchayat President PP Divya, stating her public bribery accusations against ADM Naveen Babu likely contributed to his suicide. The court cited her uninvited attendance at a farewell event, where she allegedly involved media to publicly humiliate Babu. The ruling noted Divya’s potential witness influence due to her political connections.
Divya, a CPI(M) member, faces allegations of abetting the suicide of ADM Naveen Babu after suggesting during a farewell that he accepted a bribe for a petrol pump NOC. A Thalassery court denied her anticipatory bail, arguing her comments caused Babu mental distress, leading to his death. She defends her intentions as aimed at addressing corruption.
