Kochi, Police probing the high-profile Mini Cooper crash case took the prime accused Suhail to the accident spot for evidence collection on Thursday, officials said.
A medical examination reportedly revealed a high level of alcohol in Suhail’s bloodstream, following which police invoked additional charges against him. Police also took the accused to bars where they had allegedly consumed liquor before engaging in reckless driving, officials added.
The other accused were also inside the car when the accident occurred, officials said. Police recorded his account of the accident inside the bus, officials said. The Angamaly Judicial First Class Magistrate on Wednesday granted police custody of the four arrested persons – Suhail, Ninav, Ameer and Joel – until Thursday evening for investigation. As part of the investigation, Suhail was taken in a police bus to the accident spot on the Athani-Airport road on Thursday morning, officials said.
Family members of the deceased youngsters had alleged that Suhail’s wealthy parents were attempting to influence the investigation.
