Kochi, Kerala – A daughter of a victim who died in a Mercedes‑brand vehicle collision in Kochi has alleged that a sitting judge spent an extended period at the crash site. The claim was reported by NDTV, which quoted the daughter’s statement that the judge was present for several hours, observing the investigation.
According to the family, the judge’s prolonged presence was unusual, prompting questions about procedural norms in handling such accidents. Police officials have not commented publicly on the judge’s involvement, and no official statement has been released confirming the duration of his stay.
