Kochi, Kerala: The blood test report of Suhail Sajeev, the prime accused in the Nedumbassery luxury car accident that claimed the lives of three people, has confirmed that he was heavily intoxicated at the time of the incident.

Police are expected to submit the blood test findings to the court as part of the investigation into the accident, which occurred early Sunday morning on the Nedumbassery airport road.

According to police, the accident occurred after Suhail allegedly drove the luxury car at high speed while under the influence of alcohol.

Investigators also found that three of the four accused had consumed alcohol at three bars on the day of the incident. Ameen was the only accused who had not consumed alcohol, police said.

On Thursday, police took Suhail to the accident site at Valeppuram on the Nedumbassery airport road as part of evidence collection.

The proceedings began around 10 am under the supervision of Deputy Superintendent of Police Baiju Paulose.

Although investigators had secured custody of all four accused, only Suhail was taken to the accident location.

Police did not allow him to step out of their vehicle during the inspection. Suhail remained inside with his face covered by a cloth while investigators questioned him for nearly 30 minutes.

He was subsequently taken to a bar in Nedumbassery where he had allegedly consumed alcohol before the accident. Police spent approximately an hour collecting evidence at the establishment.

The other accused, identified as Ninav, Ameen and Joel, were questioned extensively at the police station.

Investigators have invoked charges relating to abetment against the three accused.

After completing the evidence collection procedures, police produced the accused before the court, following which they were remanded to the Borstal School.

Authorities clarify controversy over Suhail's haircut

Meanwhile, authorities at the Borstal School in Kakkanad have rejected claims circulating on social media that Suhail had voluntarily cut his hair after being admitted to the institution.

Officials clarified that cutting the hair and nails of remand prisoners is part of routine hygiene procedures followed at the facility.

They said the practice is intended to maintain personal cleanliness among inmates and was not carried out specifically in Suhail's case.

According to the authorities, haircuts and other hygiene-related procedures are standard arrangements followed when remand prisoners are admitted to the institution.
