'Ajmal did not attend to Kunjumol's screams, he drove over her': Eyewitness Vindhya's shocking statement

KOLLAM: The words of Vindhya, an eyewitness to the incident, will shock anyone. "We rushed to the spot when we saw the woman lying between the tyres after being hit by the car. She cried, but he didn't listen. The car was driven back and forth several times and was driven over Kunjumol's body." If Ajmal's heart had been bothered by hearing the screams, Kunjumol's life would not have been lost under the tyres. Kunjumol was not seriously injured like Fauzia, who was driving the scooter, even though she fell on the road after being hit by the car.

Ajmal, who could not get the car moving despite two attempts, put the car in reverse and drove backwards a short distance to drive it forward at a high speed through Kunjumol's body.

Sasthamkotta SHO R Rajesh said Ajmal has been charged with culpable homicide, dangerous driving, and escaping by committing an offence. Dr Sreekutty has been charged with abetment to escape after causing an accident. The Human Rights Commission took suo motu cognizance of the case and sought a report from the Rural SP.

Fauzia, who suffered only minor injuries to her leg and hand, is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Karunagappally. Kunjumol's body was buried at the Muslim Jamaath Kabristan in North Mynagappally after the post-mortem at Paripally Medical College Hospital. Children: Sufiya and Alfiya. Sons-in-law: Shafiq and Shemeer. Kunjumol was running a stationery shop close to her house. Her husband Naushad is a porter.

Sreekutty dismissed

Sreekutty, a junior doctor in the gynaecology department of a private hospital in Karunagappally, has been sacked from her job, hospital officials said. Ajmal became friends with Sreekutty when he came here for the treatment of a relative. Sreekutty told the police that Ajmal had taken away her gold ornaments on several occasions.

Drank in public

On Thiruvonam day, the duo went to a friend's house in Mynagappally, had lunch and then parked their car on a nearby ground to get drunk. The accident took place on the way to Karunagappally. Ajmal explained that he tried to escape fearing that the locals would attack him, which led to the tragedy.

Speeding for 7km

After the accident, Ajmal speeded his car for about seven kilometres till the Karunagappally court. In the meantime, he scratched on a two-wheeler and a car. Though the car hit a wall near Karoorkadavu, he pulled back and drove off. The car owned by a friend driven by Ajmal was taken into custody by the police.
