Kochi City Police Commissioner Removed Amid Cheranalloor Luxury Car Crash Probe Involving Judge’s Minor Son
The move follows criticism of the initial police response, including station bail for the teenager and added charges after public protests.
- On Wednesday, the Keralam government removed Inspector General of Police S. Kaliraj Mahesh Kumar as Kochi City District Police Chief, citing alleged mishandling of a fatal car crash case.
- Jayabalakrishnan, 55, died early Sunday after his scooter was struck by a speeding luxury car driven by the 17-year-old son of an additional judge on Container Road in Cheranalloor.
- Based on a report from ADGP P. Vijayan, the government suspended four police officers attached to the Cheranalloor police station for investigative lapses.
- Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala visited the station on Tuesday to address public concerns, while police searched the judge's apartment and seized CCTV footage and vehicle documents.
- Authorities later added Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita to the FIR, covering culpable homicide not amounting to murder, after initially releasing the suspect on station bail.
