Paralysed Indian man trapped in debt returns home from UAE after 15 years
Moosakutty, a native of Kerala, incurred a Dh1.5 million debt; was jailed from 2012 to 2015.
Khaleej Times had earlier reported the plight of Moosakutty Puzhakkara, a native of Pattambi, Kerala, and the efforts Yusuffali had been doing to help him return home. Moosakutty had a travel ban which confined him and his family to a dingy one-room home 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.
As per the court ruling, he 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.
