  "account": "Protests staged against alleged police indifference in the Nedumbassery accident case that resulted in three fatalities continued on Wednesday (October 14, 2026). The Communist Party of India (Marxist) organised a protest march to the Nedumbassery police station, led by district secretary S. Satish. However, police blocked the route by setting up barriers, forcing protesters to attempt breaching them. On the previous day, a similar protest by the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) had been organized. The CPI(M) alleged that the police were attempting to undermine the case to protect Suhail, who was believed to be part of an influential and wealthy family. Satish claimed that the police had delayed registering the FIR and had failed to mention the accused's name, his alleged heavy inebriated state, and a report of suspected narcotic substances found in the vehicle involved in the crash. The police defended their actions, citing a specific rule and an order from a judicial magistrate, stating that the accused was being investigated for potential intoxication and illegal racing. Suhail Sajeev, the key accused at 19, was remanded to a Borstal School despite not being a juvenile. Four others, including Suhail's friends, were arrested.",
  "summary": "Police stopped the march before it reached the station by erecting barricades on the road. Slogan-shouting protesters attempted to breach the barriers",
