KERALA , India, Jan. 21 (UPI) -- An Indian court on Thursday sentenced a billionaire tobacco magnate to 38 years in prison and a $1 million fine for the death of a security guard.
Mohammad Nisham, 39, was spared the death penalty demanded by the family of Chandra Bose, 51, a security guard at Nisham's home. Bose was struck by a Hummer driven by Nisham -- described as drunk and angry -- and dragged nearly a half-mile and then stomped on, the court prosecution said.
