Becks Krishnan

The UAE administration on June 3 spared Indian national Becks Krishnan's life as Kerala-based Lulu Group owner-cum-philanthropist MA Yusuff Ali paid for his "blood money" worth Rs 1 crore. Krishnan was on a death row since 2012, after he rammed his car into a group of children, killing a Sudanese boy. "It's a rebirth for me, as I had lost all hope of seeing the outside world," said Krishnan.
