Suhail Sajeev, 19, drove a Mini Cooper at an estimated 220 km/h when it collided with a scooter carrying three students near Nedumbassery in Ernakulam district at 1:45 am on Sunday. The impact hurled the scooter 100 m, killing Devika 21 and Gopika 22 instantly; Ijaz 21 was hospitalized but later died. Police say the driver was under the influence of alcohol, a claim supported by videos of him speeding over 200 km/h and a later statement to officers that "roads are for driving, right?". A video released by Suhail’s mother shows her gifting him the Mini Cooper as a birthday present, a gesture she says fulfilled his long‑desired wish. Kerala Excise Minister M Liju has ordered investigations into bars that allegedly served alcohol to a 19‑year‑old, citing the state's legal drinking age of 23. The case has been registered under culpable homicide and the court will hear the matter on May 15, 2026.
