Becks Krishnan, accused of murder, was freed after industrialist M.A. Yusuff Ali paid five lakh dirhams as blood money to family of Sudanese boy
In the eight years and six months he languished in the Abu Dhabi Central Prison on death row, Becks Krishnan, a 45-year-old from Irinjalakkuda in Kerala, was witness to the terrifying sight of seven inmates being walked to the firing range to be shot dead. He left behind those dreaded memories when he was eventually released and flew back to the embrace of his family in the early hours of Wednesday thanks to the intervention of expatriate Malayali industrialist M.A. Yusuff Ali. As he reunited with his tearful wife Veena and 12-year-old son Adwaith at the Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery here, Mr. Krishnan heaved more than a sigh of relief. The industrialist paid as blood money five lakh dirhams, equivalent to ₹1 crore, to the family of a six-year-old Sudanese boy whom Krishnan had knocked down, which he claims was an accident, in a residential area on the night of September 13, 2012.
