Kazhakootam: An engineering college student who sustained severe injuries when a speeding jeep hit her during the Onam celebrations at the campus is reported to be in a critical state. The jeep involved in the accident has been seized by the traffic police. Relatives of the victim allege that the driver of the jeep was in an inebriated state when he knocked down the girl.

The victim Thansi Basheer hailing from Nilambur from Mallapuram was a third year civil engineering student of Sreeekariyam College of Engineering. She had sustained mild head injuries at the time of the accident and now is on ventilator support.
The girl was returning to the hostel when the incident occurred last evening, officials said.

The incident happened on Wednesday afternoon at about 3.30 pm but was reported to the police by the college authorities at night. The jeep was an open jeep being driven by the students of the college. The jeep was found hidden on the backyard of the college premises. Police had earlier seized jeeps from the college which were modified illegally. But no action has been taken by the police so far.

The principal of the college stated that the incident was not reported to the victim's family immediately as the injuries were only mild. But when a scan was undertaken, the injuries looked serious and hence the college decided to inform the police in the night. The relatives of the victim allege there were 25 students in the jeep and many were drunk.

The Sreekariyam police informed that the jeep, with number KBF 7268, was an open jeep and had been seized by the Medical College police three months back in a different case. The jeep is registered at the Moovatupuzha RTO in the name of Sreerag G Kumar. It is learnt that the jeep is used by students of the college during several occasions.

Meanwhile, college authorities said that strict action would be initiated against the culprits and celebrations were
held without permission.

Police have registered a case under provisions of traffic rules.
