Lethal joyrides: Keralam witnesses a rise in accidents involving youngsters
The back-to-back incidents of youngsters causing deaths on roads with their speeding vehicles have raised alarm bells in the State. G. Ragesh meets the bereaved family members and law enforcement officers to discuss the worrying trend
Bhadra Keerthi and Bharat Sankar, daughter and son of Jayabalakrishnan, who was killed after a car hit his scooter, stage a sit-in protest in front of the Cheranalloor police station, demanding justice for their father.
A distraught Bhadra Keerthi sat on the road right in front of the Cheranalloor police station on the outskirts of Kochi city in Keralam’s Ernakulam district late in the night on October 25, 2026.
The beaming floodlight overlooking the station and its premises fell on her face, cutting through a thick cover of darkness, a tall iron gate and a posse of police who guarded it.
