Controversies

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

In 2013, he had allowed his son Ishaan Nisham, then nine-year-old, to drive his Ferrari in their residential complex in Thrissur, leading to a police case. [7] In the same year he was arrested after he detained a woman police inspector, T Devi, in his car, during a routine traffic inspection. Nisham was under the influence of alcohol. He started arguing, saying no police station in Kerala was good enough to park his vehicle. To prevent him from driving away, Devi got into the car to take out the keys. At this point, Nisham, who was outside, locked the doors with his remote control, trapping her inside. More policemen arrived and it was only after a heated argument that Nisham let her out.

K Chandrabose murder case

On 2015 January 29 Thursday, Mohammed Nisham is convicted for driving his Hummer SUV into his guard Chandrabose at Sobha  City residential township, pinning him against the wall, before attacking him with a metal rod. Chandrabose, aged 50, suffered multiple injuries and despite repeated surgeries, died at the Amala Institute of Medical Sciences Thrissur, after spending two weeks on life support.

Nisham supposedly attacked Chandrabose because he was slow in opening the gate to his apartment in Kerala. Police had charged Nisham with attempted murder following the attack in Thrissur city. He was arrested on the charge of attempted murder leading to death. After a year of multiple sessions in court, on 20 January 2016, he was found guilty and was sentenced with a life term by Thrissur District Additional Sessions Court on the next day (21 January 2016). As per the verdict he will have to spend 38 years in jail for multiple crimes. 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.

Recently he has been in the news for having a personal helper in jail alluding to vip treatment where he is serving his term. DIG prisons is investigating the issue. 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.
