Kannur ADM's death: Role of CPM in PP Divya issue creates a lot of mystery: VD Satheesan

Speaking to media persons in Kochi on Saturday, Satheesan said the CPI-M's role and attitude in the PP Divya issue is creating a lot of mystery. Even while, CPI-M state secretary MV Govindan has been saying that the party is with the family of Naveen Babu, who committed suicide after facing public humiliation and corruption allegations from PP Divya at the farewell meeting, his (MV Govindan's) wife was among those who went to receive Divya, when she was released on bail from jail on Friday.

"The CPI-M state secretary says that the party is with the victim's family. But, the one who receives the predator on her release on bail from prison is the same leader's wife. This is the face of the CPI-M in Kerala," he said, and asked, "what a hypocrisy is this?"
