The Kerala High Court has granted bail to K. Kavya, a teacher and the third accused in the Vadakara MDMA case. The Hindu reports that she was among three special educators arrested over allegations that they acted as financial intermediaries for inter-State drug traffickers. The case remains pending.

The Kerala High Court has granted bail to K. Kavya, the third accused in the Vadakara MDMA case, The Hindu reported. Kavya was one of three special educators arrested in connection with allegations that they functioned as financial intermediaries for inter-State drug traffickers.

The supplied material does not state the conditions attached to her bail or when she was released. The case concerns MDMA, but the available report does not provide details of the alleged transactions, the quantity of drugs involved or the identities of the other accused. It also does not explain the specific role attributed to Kavya beyond the allegation that she acted as a financial intermediary.

The High Court’s decision concerns bail and does not, on the information provided, amount to a finding on the merits of the allegations. The case therefore remains pending unless further proceedings are reported. The Hindu material includes no response from Kavya, her lawyers, investigators or the prosecution.

It also does not give a date for the next hearing or state whether bail has been granted to either of the other special educators.
