A 19-year-old man, Suhail Sajeev, has been arrested in connection with a fatal speeding accident in Kerala, India. The incident occurred early Sunday morning near Nedumbassery, when Suhail's Mini Cooper allegedly struck a scooter from behind, killing three students - Devika, 21, Gopika, 22, and Ijaz, 21. The victims were traveling towards the airport area at around 1.45 am when the collision took place.
Old videos circulating on social media show Suhail driving at speeds exceeding 200 kmph in the moments leading up to the crash. Police have also found footage suggesting Suhail consumed alcohol at multiple establishments before the accident, which is particularly concerning given that the legal drinking age in Kerala is 23. Suhail allegedly made derogatory remarks to police after the crash, claiming that roads are meant for driving and his father would handle the situation.
The incident has sparked outrage among the public, with concerns over road safety and the consequences of reckless and drunk driving. The Kerala Excise Minister has directed officials to take action against bars that allegedly served alcohol to Suhail. The case has also drawn attention to the responsibility of drivers and the importance of enforcing traffic and drinking laws.
