Two individuals have been apprehended after a motorcycle allegedly crossed into the Vice-President's security convoy in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, on Sunday, September 27, 2026. The Kanjiramkulam police have identified the suspects as Ashkar and Nadirsha, both natives of Vallakkadavu. The incident unfolded around 4:30 p.m. when the Vice-President was en route to the airport following a graduation ceremony at Sree Uthradom Thirunal (SUT) Academy of Medical Sciences, held at a convention center in Balaramapuram.
The motorcycle, purportedly traveling from Thiruvallam to Kovalam, reportedly attempted to breach the Vice-President's convoy near Kovalam. Despite security personnel's efforts to halt the vehicle, the riders managed to enter the convoy and subsequently escape the scene. Subsequently, the police, informed by security personnel, conducted a search and arrested the duo in Kanjiramkulam.
Both men allegedly consumed alcohol prior to the incident. Authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the event and are also probing the security breach that permitted the motorcycle to approach the Vice-President's convoy.
