Anoop may be released shortly while freedom is closer for the other two

DUBAI: An accident is a double-whammy for the driver in the Gulf if it causes the death of anyone inside or outside the vehicle. The driver invariably is arrested and put in prison until he can pay compensation or ‘diya money’ for the victim.

That is what happened to Anoop from Kerala and Vinod Chauhan from Rajasthan. Both were involved in a traffic accident in which another Indian national died. Unable to pay the compensation both were doing time in jail.

Until the Indian Community Welfare committee stepped in to reach help. The committee, an initiative by the Indian community under the Consulate, raised Dirhams 125,000 (Rs 14 lakh) as compensation and Anoop is to be released shortly. As for Chauhan, negotiations are on with the victim’s relatives to bring down the diya amount, K Kumar, Convener, of the committee said.
