Court refuses bail for driver and two passengers in mini‑cooper collision

The bail applications filed by Suhail Sajeev, the Mini Cooper’s driver, and his two companions, Ninav and Amir Joel, were dismissed by the Angamaly Magistrate Court on Saturday. The prosecution presented first‑hand evidence, including alcohol detection in blood and urine, and stressed that the vehicle’s Event Data Recorder had been seized for technical analysis. The magistrate accepted the prosecution’s view that the inquiry is at a pivotal phase and that releasing the accused could interfere with evidence collection. The ruling underscores the court’s firm stance on ensuring that the legal process proceeds without external influence.
