Truly horrific story. A 5000 cr business tycoon gets a life term for taking a life. He should have gotten the death sentence

Mohammed Nisham, "the beedi king" of Kerala, rammed his SUV into 51-year-old Chandrabose, pinned him to a wall, dragged him for 700 metres, stomped on him and then shouted "this dog will not die", a judge was told today.

Mr Nisham, 39, has pleaded "bipolar disorder" for a lenient sentence. The court will announce his punishment tomorrow.

Special prosecutor CP Udayabhanu argued that the businessman deserves the death sentence as he is a "menace to the society."

Mr Nisham was arrested in January last year for running over the guard at the gated neighbourhood where he lives in Thrissur.

The police said that Mr Nisham was drunk and furious because Chandrabose fumbled for a few seconds while opening the gate.

Chandrabose died in hospital nearly three weeks after the savage assault.

The prosecution has asked for Rs. 5 crore for his family, which includes his mother, wife and two children. Mr Nisham's empire is worth Rs. 5,000 crore, the judge was told.

He pays only 50 lacs to the family in the end.

Well if you see the history of death penalty in India it is given to the rarest of rare cases. Even those who took multiple lives have got awa with life sentences. What we need is a US type life sentence where people who serve life sentence never see daylight again

US has close to 1 % population in prison India barely 3.5 lakhs, US type of punishments means India prison population will go above 1 crore , now from where  the funds will come to construct so many prisons and then to smoothly run?
