Manjusha remarked that the Kannur Collector is not someone who interacts warmly with employees, which is why no one in the Collectorate believes what he says. She expressed confidence that Naveen would not disclose any information to him, noting a lack of any personal bond between them.

The Kannur Collector, Arun K. Vijayan, had previously mentioned to the police that Naveen Babu spoke to him on the day of his farewell and shared some concerns. Arun confirmed to the media that a statement referenced in the pre-arrest bail plea of former Kannur District Panchayat president P.P. Divya was accurate. He stated that Naveen had admitted to making a mistake, but his full statement had not yet been revealed. Manjusha responded to these remarks, emphasizing her skepticism about the Collector's credibility.

Arun K. Vijayan also noted that he does not deny the statements made in court, asserting that they align with what he communicated to the Land Revenue Joint Commissioner. He mentioned that Naveen had been with him for eight months and said he stands by what is said in the letter to his family. The District Collector added that allegations regarding extending leave applications could be investigated. He confirmed that Divya had not been invited to Naveen Babu's farewell ceremony.
