K. Kavya, a special educator, was among three teachers arrested for allegedly acting as financial intermediaries for an inter‑state narcotics network. She is the third of five accused in the case that centres on the alleged movement and sale of psychotropic substances from Vadakara.
Justice Kauser Edappagath noted that Kavya had been remanded in judicial custody on July 25 and that the investigation was “almost done.” The bench recorded that she had no criminal antecedents, making continued detention unnecessary.
The bail order required Kavya to furnish a bond of ₹1 lakh backed by two solvent sureties, to cooperate fully with investigators, to report weekly to the investigating officer, and to refrain from travelling outside Kerala.
Prosecutors allege that Kavya, together with the other accused, conspired to transport and sell narcotic drugs, and that financial transactions for the operation were routed through her bank account, violating the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act of 1985.
The case also involves a first accused who, in the early hours of June 28, was caught with 2.108 grams of MDMA in Vadakara, and a second accused, former teacher K. C. Keerthana, who earlier received bail on similar grounds as a financial intermediary.
While Kavya’s release eases her personal liberty constraints, the court’s conditions keep her under close supervisory oversight as the probe proceeds toward trial.
