P P Divya, a leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), was taken into custody by Kerala police on Tuesday following the rejection of her anticipatory bail application in the Naveen Babu suicide case.
Her arrest occurred after the Thalassery court underscored the gravity of her actions, describing them as premeditated with the intent to insult and humiliate the senior government official, Naveen Babu, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances.
The case has ignited significant public and political interest, with opposing parties calling for a thorough investigation into the alleged misuse of political power, potentially influencing the case and any witnesses involved.
