Main Points
Ernakulam Additional Sessions Court has denied bail to four accused in the Nethumbasseri road accident that claimed the lives of three people. The court found “prima facie” evidence that Suhail Sajiv was driving under the influence of alcohol and at high speed, and that the other accused may have encouraged him to do so. Police had argued that the investigation was still in its preliminary stage and that the suspects must be taken into custody for questioning; the court accepted this argument and rejected the bail applications. The prosecution presented a WhatsApp voice recording from Joel, one of the accused, sent to a friend after the incident. In the recording Joel stated that Suhail was heavily intoxicated, was driving fast, and that three people died at the scene. The court also rejected the defence’s claim that the murder charges were filed without evidence, noting that the FIR did not name the accused. Following the denial of bail, the accused are expected to approach the High Court. The accident occurred on the early morning of 11 October on Nethumbasseri Airport Road.
