The Nedumbassery police have taken into custody two Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officers, reportedly a Sub-Inspector and a constable, allegedly for fatally knocking down a man in a suspected case of road rage at Nayathodu near the Kochi airport in Kerala on Wednesday (April 14, 2025) around 10.30 p.m.
The deceased has been identified as Aivin, 25, of Thuravur in Angamaly.
The police declined to identify the CISF officers, stating that their arrests had not yet been recorded. The Sub-Inspector was reportedly manhandled by the residents who gathered at the scene soon after the incident, and remains admitted to a nearby hospital.
According to initial reports, the victim and the two officers, driving their respective four-wheelers, were engaged in a verbal duel over making space along a narrow road after Aivin got down from his car. Reportedly, the officers rode their vehicle into the victim, who hung on to their vehicle’s bonnet for a while before falling.
The two CISF officers are being questioned by the police.
