Hummer case: Thrissur Police officer suspended

Last month a business man in Kerala named Md. Nisham had run his Hummer into the guard to pin him against a wall, then emerged from the car and beat his victim repeatedly with an iron rod till others intervened. He was reportedly furious that the guard took too long to allow his car into the gated community where he lives.

In the same case on senior police officer of Kerala has been suspended for allegedly violating procedures and secretly meeting Muhammed Nisham, the businessman accused of ramming a security guard in Thrissur with his Hummer.

Superintendent of Police Jacob Job was posted as the Thrissur City Commissioner and he had conducted the initial investigation into the case. A departmental inquiry concluded that his meetings with Mr Nisham could have led to lapses in investigation.

The guard, 47-year-old Chandrabose, worked at Sobha city, a posh residential township at Thrissur where Mr Nisham lives.

Eyewitnesses said he had run the car into the guard to pin him against a wall, then emerged from the car and beat his victim repeatedly with an iron rod till others intervened.

The guard succumbed to injuries on February 16. Mr Nisham, owner of King Beedi Co, was allegedly in an inebriated state when he assaulted the man.

Later, there were reports that there had been some “soft pedaling” of pending criminal cases against Mr Nisham. He faced 10 police cases, most of which were reportedly settled out of court. The state DGP, however, has denied the charge.
