Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan visited family members of the late ADM Naveen Babu, who tragically ended his life. The incident has sparked political controversy, leading to the removal of CPI (M) leader P P Divya from her post. An investigation is underway.

Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan paid a visit to the bereaved family of the late Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Naveen Babu at their home in Malayalapuzha. The Governor arrived in the afternoon and spent considerable time consoling Babu's wife, Manjusha, and his daughters.
