Only the mayor's brother, identified as Aravind, has been named as an accused. The decision — effectively extends a clean chit to both the mayor and her husband in connection with the 2024 incident. The case centres on an altercation on April 27, 2024, when a KSRTC bus and a car carrying the mayor, her husband, and family members reportedly became embroiled in a dispute at Plamoodu in Thiruvananthapuram.
