Keralam Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala has warned of a strict police crackdown on driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

He was speaking to the media on Saturday (October 31, 2026) after visiting the family of Jayabalakrishnan, who was mowed down by a speeding car allegedly driven by the minor son of an additional judge, at Cheranalloor near Kochi.

Mr. Chennithala said that accidents caused by intoxicated drivers, claiming the lives of innocent people, have become widespread in the State. This cannot be allowed, he said, urging people to cooperate and not complain later.
