On April 15, the committee, through its representatives, informed the Saudi court that the blood money had been arranged. The court then officially informed the family of the deceased, who expressed their willingness to accept the money and grant a pardon.

The fund will now be deposited in the Saudi court, from where it will be forwarded to the family of the deceased.

How did he kill the boy?

Abdul Rahim, an autorickshaw driver from Feroke, was 26 years old when he went to Saudi Arabia in search of better opportunities. He started working for a Saudi citizen as his driver and as a caretaker for the citizen’s partially paralyzed son, who relied on a particular device attached to his neck for breathing and eating.

According to Abdul Rahim’s account of the fatal incident, he accidentally dislocated the instrument while trying to control the boy, who was causing a disturbance by demanding that he violate a red signal on the road. The boy soon fainted and died.
