Kannur ADM Naveen Babu Death: Sessions Court Adjourns Hearing on P.P. Divya's Anticipatory Bail
The Kozhikode Sessions Court has adjourned the hearing on P.P. Divya's anticipatory bail application in connection with the death of Kannur Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Naveen Babu. The court has directed the prosecution to present the police records when the case is heard on October 24. This decision comes after a dramatic turn of events that has gripped the small town of Kannur and the entire state of Kerala.
Background of the Case
The case pertains to the tragic death of 32-year-old Naveen Babu, who was serving as the Additional District Magistrate in Kannur. On October 5, Babu was found dead in his official residence under mysterious circumstances. The police investigation that followed revealed that Babu had been in a relationship with 22-year-old P.P. Divya, a woman who was half his age. The police alleged that Divya had been threatening Babu to marry her, and he had been mentally and emotionally traumatized as a result.
P.P. Divya's Anticipatory Bail Application
Fearing arrest, Divya approached the Kozhikode Sessions Court and filed an anticipatory bail application, seeking protection from possible arrest by the police. The application was based on the grounds that Divya was innocent and had nothing to do with Babu's death. Her counsel argued that Divya was a victim of Babu's obsession and that she had been trying to end the relationship.
Hearing in the Sessions Court
When the case came up for hearing in the Sessions Court, the prosecution argued that Divya's anticipatory bail application was not maintainable as she was not an accused in the case yet. However, the court decided to hear the application and granted an adjournment to enable the prosecution to present the police records.
Police Records Crucial in the Case
The police records will play a crucial role in determining Divya's role, if any, in Babu's death. The police investigation has revealed that Babu and Divya had been in a tumultuous relationship for several months. The investigation has also revealed that Babu had been subjected to mental and emotional harassment by Divya, who had been demanding that he marry her.
Court's Decision
In light of the above, the court decided to adjourn the hearing and to direct the prosecution to present the police records when the case is heard on October 24. This decision will enable the court to have a fuller picture of the case and to decide on Divya's anticipatory bail application based on all relevant facts and circumstances.
