The IPS officer categorically denied involvement in the investigation into the Cheranalloor incident, wherein a 17-year-old boy allegedly drove a luxury vehicle resulting in a collision. The officer stated that his recent posting transfer was an unrelated administrative matter and had no connection to the case.
Addressing reports of alleged political interference, the officer dismissed suggestions that a district court judge—identified as the father of the teenage driver—had contacted him regarding the investigation. He described such claims as entirely baseless and without factual foundation.
The Cheranalloor car crash has drawn significant public and judicial attention following concerns about the handling of the investigation and questions over potential influence given the accused's family background. The case has sparked broader discussions about accountability and impartial investigations in high-profile incidents involving minors from prominent families.
The officer's denial comes as the investigation continues through official channels, with authorities maintaining they are pursuing the matter according to established legal protocols.
