Kochi : Suhail Sajeev and Joel S Anto, the first and third accused in the Nedumbassery Mini Cooper accident that claimed the lives of three youngsters, including two women, have approached the high court seeking bail after two subordinate courts rejected their pleas. Following this, Suhail and Joel approached the HC. The primary objectives of custodial interrogation stand fully satisfied as police custody has lapsed, and all material evidence and digital exhibits are safely secured. Any theoretical apprehension of flight risk or evidence tampering can be comprehensively addressed through stringent bail conditions, they contended.
