Becks Krishnan was saved by prominent NRI businessman and philanthropist M A Yusuffali who helped to pay his "blood money" amounting nearly ₹one crore. The Krishnan family then approached Yusuffali, Chairman of Lulu Group, who went about getting the details of the case and got in touch with all stakeholders. Ultimately in January 2021, the victim’s family in Sudan agreed to pardon Krishnan. My only wish now is to see Yusuffali once before flying to my family," Krishnan was quoted as saying in the statement. Abu Dhabi-based Lulu Group that owns Lulu Hypermarkets and shopping malls, is one of the top retailers in the Middle East and North African region (MENA).
