Kerala High Court Reviews Bail of Judge's Son in Fatal Kochi Car Crash
A 17-year-old boy, son of a Kerala District Judge, is under investigation for a fatal October 25 car accident in Kochi that killed Jayabalakrishnan. The teenager admitted to driving vehicles without his parents' knowledge. He was granted bail by the Juvenile Justice Board, but the victim's family challenged this, citing concerns over evidence tampering and the boy's influential background. The Kerala High Court has sought the State's response on a plea to cancel bail and is reviewing the case further.
