The arrested, Shamnas M (33), a native of Valluvangad, Malappuram, is accused of purchasing MDMA from Bengaluru.
Both the deceased were employees of a caravan tourism company based in Ponnani.
The charge against Edavela Babu alleges that he behaved indecently with an actress and promised her membership in the now-defunct AMMA association.
Kumar’s allegations were presented to an investigation team led by Darvesh Sahib, appointed by the state government to examine charges raised by MLA P V Anvar against him.
Kumar also identified a significant aspect of the controversy: the district administration’s refusal to relax Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) norms for the fireworks display.
Shamnad is involved in 22 cases, including attempted murder.
The accused are reportedly Vishva Hindu Parishad activists.
According to the complaint, the officials conspired with a local woman, Nottanveettil Rahmath, who submitted a falsified claim that a tiger killed her cow.
The mobile numbers of the accused and their families had been under surveillance since the incident.
The family will file an online complaint with the Kozhikode rural police on Thursday.
