In related news, the High Court has rejected a petition filed by Naveen Babu’s family, which sought a CBI investigation into his death. The petition, which claimed that there was suspicion surrounding the circumstances of his death, was dismissed by the court. Earlier, a single bench had also rejected the request. Naveen Babu's wife, Manjusha, argued that there was a mystery surrounding the death and called for a CBI investigation due to inefficiencies in the local police inquiry. 

The family has raised concerns, suggesting that Naveen Babu might have been murdered and later hanged. However, the government maintains that the investigation is proceeding correctly and points to the post-mortem report, which concluded that the death was a suicide. The CBI had informed the court that they would take up the investigation if instructed by the court.

In response to the court’s decision, PP Divya expressed that she would continue to voice her opinion and struggle, sharing the artwork and writings of artist Ponniyam Chandran on her Facebook page. The post did not directly address the case.
