Kerala court orders further investigation into ADM Naveen Babu's death, including Call Data Records from P.P. Divya's phone.
A court in Kannur, Kerala, on Monday ordered a further probe into the death of late Additional District Magistrate (ADM) K. Naveen Babu.
Babu was found dead on October 14, 2024 at his official residence in Kannur, allegedly after CPI(M) leader P.P. Divya made remarks against him during a farewell event.
Thalassery Additional Sessions Court Judge Titty George, in a common order, allowed two petitions filed by Babu’s family seeking further investigation and the production of the Call Data Records (CDR) of Ms. Divya’s official mobile phone.
It was alleged that Ms. Divya, then Kannur district panchayat president, arrived uninvited at Babu’s farewell function and levelled corruption charges against him publicly.
The police registered a case in connection with the incident and later filed a chargesheet in the magistrate court against Ms. Divya for abetment of suicide.
As per the court diary, petitions filed by the family stating that the police probe was incomplete on August 8, 2025 and another petition filed on February 28 seeking production of additional documents were allowed.
