Kasaragod, Oct 19: An NRI businessman, trapped in 28 legal cases in United Arab Emirates, coupled with several health issues, has finally returned to India after 15 years, thanks to financial and legal support by Indian businessman Yusuffali MA, chairman of Lulu Group.

Moosakutty Puzhakkara, a native of Pattambi, Kerala, had a travel ban which confined him and his family to a dingy one-room home in Ras Al Kahimah for more than a decade with almost 50 per cent paralysis.

Moosakutty was an office boy in Abu Dhabi who managed to save up enough money to launch a business, but the past decade had been tragic for him.

He incurred a Dh1.5 million debt; was jailed from 2012 to 2015; had not seen home for 15 years, and the right side of his body is paralysed. 

After month-long legal proceedings and interaction with all relevant government stakeholders, including His Highness Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, Yusuffali was able to finalise an early settlement of his debts and legal issues.

As per the court ruling, Yusuffali paid Dh400,000 as final settlement and facilitated the travel back home of Moosakutty and his wife on Friday.

"I was moved by Moosakutty's miserable health and living condition. The challenge was to get settlements in more than 28 court cases as soon as possible. All other relevant authorities helped speed up proceedings which resulted in the lifting of the travel ban and the return of Moosakutty to his home and family in India. I sincerely wish and pray that Moosakutty recovers fast and has a happy and prosperous life ahead with family and loved ones," said Yusuffali.

Bengaluru, Apr 12: The Karnataka government is studying in-depth the consequences of the possible relaxation of lockdown norms after April 14 and plans to come out with a clear roadmap in a day or two, a key Minister said on Sunday.

Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar, who is in charge of all matters related to COVID-19, told PTI that the pros and cons of any decision that the Government intends to take is being looked at in detail.

"We are trying to understand how the situation would be of any action that we intend to take. We need to foresee the repercussions or results of our action. That we have to keep it in mind and make a decision. After-effects of the decisions we intend to take, that is more important, he said. You will have clarity (on the possible relaxation of lockdown norms) in a day or two. For everything (government decisions) we will give the reasoning for what action we would like to take; with the reasoning, we will give a decision," the Minister added.

Government sources said some relaxation in liquor sales, stopped during the lock-down period, is likely after the ongoing 21-day national clampdown ends on April 14. Twelve of the state's 30 districts remain free from the COVID-19 pandemic. Till Saturday, Karnataka reported 215 COVID-19 positive cases, including six deaths and 39 discharges.
