Kannur ADM death: Court grants bail to Kerala CPI(M) leader P.P. Divya

P.P. Divya, a former district panchayat president and CPI(M) leader, was granted bail in the investigation into the death of the ADM. The court considered her cooperation in the investigation and the argument that the ADM may have accepted bribes. The defense admitted that her speech at the farewell event could have been avoided. The prosecution accused her of deliberate misconduct, but the defense presented evidence suggesting the ADM had accepted bribes. The CPI(M) took disciplinary action against her, demoting her within the party. Her release is subject to conditions like reporting to the investigating officer and staying within Kannur district.
