The Kerala High Court has slammed the state police forces’ handling of an accident case in which a young jounalist was killed and an IAS officer Sriram Venkitaraman is the accused, The New Indian Express has reported.


The journalist was killed after his bike was allegedly hit by a speeding car being driven by Venkitaraman who was returning from a late-night party. Two eye-witnesses in the case have alleged that the IAS officer was under influence of alcohol.


Venkitaraman meanwhile was suspended last week and was admitted to a state-run medical hospital’s ICU in Kochi. He has since been discharged from the hospital.
