Family Challenges Bail of Minor Driver in Kerala Fatal Mercedes Crash
The family of Jayabalakrishnan, who died after a luxury car driven by a judicial officer's minor son hit his scooter in Kochi on October 25, has filed a petition before the Kerala High Court challenging the minor's bail. They argue the court overlooked the gravity of the offense and the risk of justice being undermined. The minor was granted bail despite allegations of dangerous driving, including speeding over 108 kmph and recording the speedometer while driving in rainy conditions. The family fears bail may affect the investigation.
