KM Basheer was killed in an alleged road rage incident involving the IAS Officer who was driving a car that rammed into him.
The police allegedly found Venkitaraman an inebriated state after the accident. However, there was significant delay in collecting his blood sample for testing the alcohol level as Venkitaraman had managed to check himself out of the government hospital where the police had taken him.
Subsequently a case was registered against Venkitaraman and the passenger in the car at the time, one Wafa Firoz, by the Museum Police, Thiruvananthapuram.
Venkitaraman was accused of having committed the offences punishable under Sections 279, 304, 304(A), and 201 of the IPC as well as Sections 185 and 188 of the Motor Vehicles Act and Section 3(1)(2) of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.
