In a significant development, the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) has confirmed that it never received any complaints against K. Naveen Babu, the former Additional District Magistrate (ADM) of Kannur, who was found dead at his official residence in October last year.
In its response to a Right to Information (RTI) query filed by lawyer Kulathoor Jaisingh, the VACB stated that no complaints had been received against the official during his tenure as ADM in Kannur.
This revelation assumes significance in light of allegations made by Prashanthan, a Kannur native who had earlier accused the deceased official of bribery and claimed to have filed a vigilance complaint against him.
