Kochi Mercedes Crash: Kerala Govt Acts Against Judge's Son, Family Demands Justice
A fatal Mercedes crash in Kochi has sparked a controversy over privilege, accountability and alleged preferential treatment. A 17-year-old boy, the son of an Additional District Judge, allegedly drove his father's car into a scooter, killing 55-year-old street vendor Jayabalakrishnan. The teenager was initially granted station bail, prompting protests by the victim's family. Police have since added a culpable homicide charge and booked the judge under the Motor Vehicles Act. Amid growing demands for justice, the Kerala government has initiated legal and administrative steps. The victim's family continues to question the handling of the case and is demanding accountability.
