The court held Kumar guilty under Indian Penal Code sections 304-B (dowry death), 306 (abetment to suicide), and 498-A (any intentional behaviour likely to lead the lady to commit herself). Vismaya was discovered dead at Kumar's residence in Kollam on June 21, 2021, under unexplained circumstances.
In the dowry killing case of his wife Vismaya, the Additional Sessions Court in Kollam district sentenced Kiran Kumar to ten years in jail. Vismaya's husband, Kiran Kumar, was also fined Rs 12.5 lakh by the Kollam Additional Sessions Court. Vismaya's parents have decided to ask the Supreme Court to sentence Kiran to life in jail.
On Tuesday, Kiran Kumar requested the court to spare him the maximum sentence because he was the main provider for his elderly parents. When asked if he had anything to say, Kiran answered that his father suffered from memory loss and that if he was imprisoned, his mother would be left without a support system. Kiran went on to explain that his mother had diabetes and high blood pressure. Kiran's counsel requested the court to spare him life in prison because of his age.
