Kottayam Nobi Lucas granted bail in the case of mother and children committing suicide in Ettumanoor. The Kottayam District Sessions Court granted bail to Nobi Lucas with conditions. Nobi is being released from jail after 28 days.
The court had heard detailed arguments in the past few days. However, the defense argued that the police had not been able to find any evidence to prove Nobi’s role in the case. Shiny’s father Kuriakose had also filed a petition against Nobi’s bail application.
The police had informed the court that bail should not be granted. The police FIR states that the reason for Shiny and her children committing suicide was pressure from her husband and family.
On February 28, Shiny and her children Alina and Ivana jumped in front of a train near Ettumanoor railway station. The three died when the Kottayam-Nilambur Road Express hit them. The incident took place near the Parolical railway gate before Ettumanoor station.
