The Principal Sessions Court, Thalassery on Monday (October 21) directed the police to submit the case diary for hearing the anticipatory bail plea moved by CPM Member and former Kannur district Panchayath President PP Divya who is accused of abetting the suicide of Additional District Magistrate Naveen Babu.
During the hearing, the Sessions court directed the police to submit the case diary by Thursday (24 October), on which day the matter will be heard.
As per the case registered by the police, ADM Naveen Babu allegedly committed suicide due to public humiliation from Divya during his farewell function. It is alleged that in her speech during the farewell function, Divya had accused the deceased of corruption in connection with the opening of a fuel outlet.
Divya, in her bail plea, has stated that Kannur District Collector Arun K Vijayan invited her to the farewell function, adding that she was innocent of all allegations and that she spoke at the function with bonafide intentions.
Advocate K Viswan appeared on behalf of Divya.
