Unnatural death allegations: Family to protest with woman’s body outside bank in Kozhikode

Kozhikode Relatives and family members of a 42-year-old homemaker who was found dead at her house following bank attachment proceedings at Koothali near Perambra have announced their plans to stage a protest with her body in front of the bank branch on Monday (November 16, 2026), alleging that the officials’ refusal to grant a five-day grace period for loan repayment led to her death. The deceased, identified as Kavitha Babu, was an employee at a paint shop in Kainatty, Vadakara.

The couple has two daughters. According to family members, the body, which is currently kept at the mortuary of the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital following post-mortem procedures, would be taken to the Naduvannur branch of the accused bank on Monday (November 16, 2026) before funeral rites are held.

The incident occurred around 11 a.m. on November 13 when a team comprising bank officials, an advocate commissioner, and police personnel arrived at Kavitha’s residence to execute Court-mandated attachment proceedings.
