ADM’s family told court at Divya’s bail hearing

The court order revealed that Kannur District Collector Arun K Vijayan was not a friendly officer, as claimed by the counsel of ADM Naveen Babu. Naveen Babu had reportedly confessed to making a mistake to the Collector before his death by suicide. The order granting bail to P P Divya also highlighted the strained relationship between Naveen Babu and the Collector, with Naveen’s family refusing to allow the Collector to attend his funeral. The court dismissed claims that the Collector’s statement was influenced by Divya, emphasizing that the statement was present in the case diary from the beginning.
