Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala has pledged to ensure maximum punishment for a driver involved in a fatal car accident in Nedumbassery. The accused, who was allegedly driving under the influence, is currently being held in a detention center for minors.

The case has sparked public outcry regarding road safety and the legal handling of juvenile offenders in high-profile criminal cases.
Every effort will be made so that Suhail Sajeev, who was charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder after he recklessly drove a luxury car and fatally rammed it into a two-wheeler leading to the death of three youth, gets the maximum punishment, Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala said in New Delhi on Tuesday (October 13, 2026).
The accident occurred at the airport road here early on Sunday (October 11) morning when Suhail was reportedly driving the car in an inebriated condition.
