Mohammed Nisham A A is an Indian businessman who was convicted in connection with the murder of Chandrabose and is currently serving a prison sentence in Kerala.

Early life and background

[edit]

Mohammed Nisham was born in Thrissur, Kerala, to Adakkaparambil B. Abdulkader and Subaida Muhammad.[2][3] He has two brothers and one sister. He is married and has a son.[4][5]

Nisham has been associated with the tobacco and real estate sectors. He is linked to Kings Beedi Co., a tobacco company based in Thirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, established by his father.

[edit]

He is a notorious businessman turned-out criminal who was charged under many criminal cases in Kerala and Karnataka States. Authorities in Kerala have invoked provisions of the Kerala Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 2007 (KAPA) against him.[6] Nisham has been in the public eye for a series of transgressions he committed.

Ferrari incident

[edit]

In 2013, Nisham faced legal scrutiny after allowing his nine-year-old son Ishaan Nisham, to drive a Ferrari within a residential complex in Thrissur, which led to a police case.[7]

Police altercation

[edit]

In a separate incident the same year, he was arrested following an altercation with a police officer during a routine traffic inspection. According to reports, Nisham allegedly confined a woman police inspector, T Devi, inside his car after locking it remotely during the exchange. Additional police personnel intervened, and only after a heated argument with Nisham the officer was subsequently released.

K Chandrabose murder case

[edit]

On 29 January 2015, Mohammed Nisham was involved in an incident at the Sobha City residential township in Thrissur, in which his security guard, Chandrabose, sustained severe injuries. According to prosecution records, Nisham drove his vehicle Hummer SUV into Chandrabose, pinning him against a wall, and subsequently assaulted him with a metal rod. Chandrabose, aged 50, suffered multiple injuries and died on 16 February 2015 at the Amala Institute of Medical Sciences after remaining on life support for approximately two weeks.

Nisham supposedly attacked Chandrabose because he was slow in opening the gate to his apartment in Kerala. Police initially registered a case of attempted murder, which was later amended following Chandrabose’s death. Nisham was arrested in connection with the incident. After a year of multiple sessions in court, the Thrissur Additional District and Sessions Court found him guilty on 20 January 2016. On 21 January 2016, he was sentenced to life imprisonment along with additional terms under various charges.

Famous Criminal lawyer Advocate Raman pillai appeared for Nisham and Special Public Prosecutor Advocate C P Udayabhanu appeared for Chandrabose. The Verdict was issued by Thrissur District Additional Sessions Judge Mr K P Sudeer. Earlier the Supreme Court of India had rejected his bail plea, saying the case was "an example of how the rich have become entirely egocentric and megalomaniacs". The Thrissur District Additional Sessions Court on Thursday, 21 January 2016, sentenced businessman Mohammed Nisham (38) to life term and an additional 24 years of imprisonment for murdering his security guard.

Jail privilege allegations

[edit]

Reports in the media raised concerns regarding alleged preferential treatment during his incarceration, including claims related to facilities and interactions with officials. It was in the news for having a personal helper in jail alluding to vip treatment where he is serving his term. Prison authorities initiated inquiries into these allegations, and disciplinary action was reported against certain personnel in connection with related incidents.

Police suspension case

[edit]

Earlier, a controversy had erupted over Nisham's stay in jail as on one journey back from court, he was filmed treating his police escorts to a lavish meal, following which five policemen were suspended. Meanwhile, a quick probe has been ordered as it is believed that a nexus between Nisham and police officers exist, giving him access to run his business.[8] [9] [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]
