ADM Naveen Babu Case
T.K. Ratnakumar was part of the SIT investigating the death of ADM Naveen Babu, found dead in October 2024. The death was officially recorded as suicide, following allegations made by P.P. Divya, a CPM leader and Kannur District Panchayat President, against Babu. The SIT supervised by Ratnakumar prepared a chargesheet proposing Divya as the sole accused for abetment of suicide. The Kerala High Court refused requests for a CBI probe into the matter, directing the SIT to continue the investigation.[4][5]
