KOLLAM: More details of the accused in the Mynagappally accident are out. As per police, there were eight cases against Ajmal (29), who drove the car in a drunken state, killing a housewife at Mynagappally. The cases include theft, destruction of public property and fraud. Meanwhile, Sreekutty (27), who accompanied Ajmal in the car, was fired from her job.

Sreekutty, a divorcee, met Ajmal six months back at the hospital where she worked. They quickly hit a rapport after Ajmal tricked Sreekutty into believing that he was a dance teacher.

The accident happened when Ajmal and Dr Sreekutty were returning from a party at their friend's house. The medical examination proved that the duo was under the influence of alcohol. A case of culpable homicide has been registered against Ajmal. Sreekutty will also be added as an accused in the case. Another young woman who is their friend is being interrogated at Shastamkotta station.

The shocking incident took place on Sunday evening. Mynagappally native Kunjumol and her relative Fauzia were on a scooter, crossing the road when the speeding car rammed into them. After seeing the locals approaching the accident site, Ajmal moved the car over Kunjumol’s body and fled the spot. The locals meanwhile chased the car for a long before Ajmal decided to stop the vehicle and ran away. Sreekutty meanwhile ran into a nearby house and was later arrested by police officials.

Kunjumol was rushed to a private hospital but died by 9.45 pm on Sunday.
