A week after a 19-year-old rammed a Mini Cooper into a scooter, killing three people near Kochi, his mother appealed to the public to give her family some privacy as they navigate the aftermath of the horrific crash.
“We have lost three valuable lives. I convey my condolences to their families. I can understand the pain they must be feeling. We raise our children with a lot of hopes and dreams, and when they suddenly leave us, it is unthinkable. Police found that Suhail and his friends were heavily intoxicated at the time of the crash. Suhail’s blood alcohol concentration was found to be five times the legal limit for driving in India.
My words can never compensate for their grief,” Nooha said in the video.
I am concerned about my son’s future just as I am deeply sad about the three people who lost their lives,” she said. Nooha also requested the public to desist from spreading half-truths and give her family some privacy. “This issue is being discussed a lot on social media. Many people are angry at us. But I want to appeal for privacy for me and my family. There are a lot of half-truths going around. Please understand that I am also a woman and a mother hailing from an ordinary family. “Please remember that I have a family of four. Suhail was charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, while three of his friends, who were in the car at the time of the accident, were booked for abetment.
She said that the investigation must proceed in the right direction and that only truth must prevail. We also have lives to go about,” she said.
