The Congress in Kerala has intensified its critique of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, raising concerns over his silence regarding the alleged suicide of Naveen Babu, the former Additional District Magistrate (ADM) of Kannur. Babu's death follows corruption charges brought against him by CPI(M) leader P P Divya.

Keral Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President K Sudhakaran and Leader of Opposition V D Satheesan questioned the CM's silence, highlighting a lack of condolences to Babu's family. Both leaders have urged a thorough investigation, accusing the government of delaying the process.

Further allegations involve the CPI(M) purportedly creating false documents to protect Divya. The political controversy intensified with Congress hinting at a conspiracy and the recent booking of Divya under abetment of suicide charges. The incident has sparked widespread concern and calls for transparency from the ruling party.
