Ernakulam (Kerala) [India], September 18 : A Right to Information (RTI) activist Girish Babu was on Monday found dead at his residence in Kalamassery in Kerala’s Ernakulam district, police said.
According to the police, the deceased was living with his family and was found dead in his bedroom this morning.

The Kalamassery police has filed an FIR with Cr no 2075/23 under section 174 CrPC in the matter. Further investigation into the matter is underway, the officials said.
Babu had filed several public interest litigations, including the plea seeking a vigilance probe against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s daughter Veena Vijayan in connection with an alleged bribery case.
