CPI(M) Leader P P Divya Awaits Court's Decision in Controversial Abetment Case

CPI(M) leader P P Divya faces accusations of abetting the suicide of former Kannur ADM Naveen Babu. She defended her remarks, attributing them to corruption complaints against Babu. Her anticipatory bail hearing is underway, with a decision expected on October 29.

CPI(M) leader P P Divya, embroiled in controversy over the alleged abetment of ex-Kannur ADM Naveen Babu's suicide, made a case in court defending her comments. Divya claimed her accusations were rooted in corruption complaints she received about Babu.

During the court proceedings, Divya's lawyer communicated to Judge K T Nissar Ahammed that she had been informed by the Kannur District Collector about Babu's farewell and confirmed her attendance. The hearing revolved around her anticipatory bail plea, with the court set to announce its decision on October 29.

The prosecution, alongside Babu's family, strongly opposed her bail, arguing that her actions were premeditated and intended to manipulate evidence. They held that Divya made false claims of corruption, which were not corroborated by any complaints against Babu.
