The businessman dad of the boy who drove a Ferrari and was arrested by police in Kerala, India, for the second time on Thursday, has been admitted to hospital after a fight with local traffic police.

37 year old Mohammad Nisham, who also has business interests in Dubai, was arrested and remanded to 14 days in police custody following a brawl with traffic police in the south Indian town of Thrissur in Kerala.

City Police in Thrissur district have accused him of locking up a woman police officer in his Rolls Royce.

“He is unwell and is undergoing medical treatment,” his wife told Emirates 24|7 over the phone. When asked why he has been hospitalised, she said she will call back and dropped the phone.

According to Indian media reports, Nisham was driving his vehicle in Thrissur on Thursday evening when traffic police stopped his vehicle, suspecting him to be drunk.

He is then accused of behaving rudely with the police and even locking up a woman police officer in his car, when she tried to take the keys of his car. Police later took him into custody.

Nisham, who is into real estate and tobacco businesses, owns several luxury cars and was earlier in the news when the video of his nine-year old son driving a Ferrari went viral on YouTube. 

Apart from the Ferrari and the Rolls Royce, Nisham owns several other luxury cars including an Audi A7, Range Rover Evoque, Bentley, Lamborghini and a Mercedes E Class.

The man is also a frequent visitor to the UAE, where he has many business interests.

According to one of his acquaintances, some of the vehicles he owns were shipped from Dubai.

He also has a penchant for the number “777”. All his cars have registration numbers that end with ‘777’. His personal mobile number also ends with the same three digits.
