A day after being convicted in the Hummer murder case, Kerala businessman Mohammed Nisham was on Thursday sentenced to life imprisonment.
The court also awarded Rs 80 lakh compensation to the family of the security guard Chandrabose.
Nisham was on Wednesday convicted of mowing down a security guard with his Hummer in Thrissur in 2015. The prosecution had sought maximum punishment of death sentence for Nisham and Rs 5 crore compensation, arguing that Nisham is a threat to society.
Nisham had mowed down security guard Chandrabose at his residential complex in January 2015 because he was slow in opening the gate.
Md Nisham, who runs a successful beedi business in Kerala, reportedly owns several luxury cars like Rolls Royce and Bentley. He has also expanded into jewellery business.
There are as many as 12 criminal cases currently on Nisham in Kerala.
In August, five policemen, including a sub inspector and constables, were suspended for showing favour towards Nisham.
The police officials were suspended as they allowed Nisham to meet his family and also have food in a luxury hotel, which amounts to showing favour to an accused. The officials have been suspended pending enquiry.
