Family demands attempted murder case after police vehicle allegedly rams motorcycle in Kerala

Wednesday, 23 September 2026, 07:39 · 1 min read

The family of a youth injured in Kerala (a state in southwestern India) is demanding an attempted murder case against four police officers from the Pudukad station (Thrissur district) after a police vehicle allegedly pursued and deliberately rammed a motorcycle carrying three young men on July 16. Audio recorded on one victim's seized iPhone reportedly captures an officer saying, "If we had increased the speed a little more, the youths would have died," and another discouraging hospital visits to conceal police involvement — evidence the family says it withheld for nearly two months after senior officials promised action. Four officers, including the station house officer, have been suspended, but the family alleges that a formal case has still not been registered despite directives from the district police chief.
