Kerala Judge Booked for Evidence Tampering in Fatal Crash Involving Minor Son
A fatal accident in Cheranalloor, Kerala, involved a luxury car driven by a 17-year-old son of an Additional District Judge, resulting in the death of Jayabalakrishnan, a scooter rider. The victim's family alleges the judge tampered with evidence at the accident site and interfered with the police investigation, including forcing deletion of a photograph. The judge faces charges of culpable homicide and attempting to destroy evidence. Police have suspended four officers linked to the case, and court proceedings continue with some hearings held in-camera due to the minor's involvement.
