Nuha Sajeev, mother of 19-year-old Suhail Sajeev, the accused driver in the Nedumbassery Mini Cooper crash that killed three people, has expressed grief over the incident and asked for privacy for her family.In a video posted on social media, she offered her condolences to the victims’ families and said she understood the pain of losing a child. “We have lost the lives of three precious little children. I would like to express my deepest condolences for the loss of those three children. I know how unbearable the grief must be for their families. We raise our children with so much love, nurture them while dreaming of their future, and then, in a moment, they are gone. I am someone who understands the pain a mother or father goes through when they lose a child,” she said.Nuha said she wanted the investigation to proceed and the law to take its course. “I only hope that everything is handled honestly and transparently, and that only the truth comes out,” she said.Acknowledging the anger surrounding the case and the extensive discussion on social media, she asked users to respect her family’s privacy. “During this extremely difficult time, people [should] respect our privacy and allow me and my family some space,” she said.Suhail was driving the Mini Cooper under the influence of alcohol when it struck a two-wheeler from behind in Nedumbassery in the early hours of October 11. The crash killed Gopika, 22, Iyas, 21, and Devika, 21, who worked part-time at an antique shop in Thrikkakara. According to his blood test report, the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) was160 mg alcohol per 100 ml of blood, which is five times higher than the permissible limit. Meanwhile, on October 17, the Angamaly court denied bail to Suhail and his three friends, Ninav, 19, Joel, 20, and Ameer, 20. Ninav’s blood report also turned positive. All four remain in judicial custody. They are lodged at the Kakkanad Borstal school, a correctional facility for adolescent and young adult offenders.
