Prosecution counsel Udayabhanu told reporters that they have sought maximum punishment for the businessman. “Since he also claims to be a wealthy businessman, we have asked for a compensation of Rs.5 crore for the bereaved family,” said Udayabhanu. The Kerala government had announced a government job for Bose’s wife. Owner of the Kings Group of Companies, Nisham courted controversy after his seven-year-old son’s photograph driving his car was put up on social media. In another case, he allegedly abused a woman police official for checking his vehicle. IANS
