Judge's minor son detained after luxury car kills scooter rider in Kochi

Kochi, Oct 25 (UNI) A 55-year-old man was killed when his scooter collided with a Mercedes-Benz allegedly driven by a 17-year-old boy, the son of a judicial officer, at Cheranalloor in Ernakulam district in the early hours of Sunday.
The deceased, Jayabalakrishnan, was returning home after closing his roadside eatery near Chittoor temple when the accident occurred on Container Road near Maraparambu at around 0230 hrs, sources said.
Cheranalloor police took the teenager into custody in connection with the accident and seized the car, which was allegedly registered in his father's name. The boy allegedly did not possess a valid driving licence.
According to preliminary information, the Mercedes-Benz was travelling from Vallarpadam towards Kalamassery when it hit the scooter moving in the same direction. The impact proved fatal for the scooter rider.

A case has been registered under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita concerning rash driving and causing death by negligence. Police are collecting evidence to establish the sequence of events and determine responsibility. The teenager, identified as the son of an Additional Judge at Irinjalakuda, was taken into police custody.
Jayabalakrishnan had run the roadside eatery with his wife for nearly three decades. He is survived by his wife and three children. Further investigation is under way.
