UAE: NRI tycoon pays Rs 1 crore blood money to save Indian man on death row

A 45-year-old Indian, who was on death row in the United Arab Emirates, was saved by prominent NRI businessman and philanthropist M A Yusuffali.

A 45-year-old Indian, who was on death row in the United Arab Emirates for killing a young Sudanese boy in a road accident in 2012, can't believe that he will be a free man and can return to the country to be with his family. Becks Krishnan was saved by prominent NRI businessman and philanthropist M A Yusuffali who helped to pay his "blood money" amounting nearly Rs one crore. Krishnan, who hails from Kerala, was sentenced to death by UAE Supreme Court after he was found guilty of killing a young Sudanese boy when he recklessly drove and rammed his car into a group of children in September 2012.
