Dubai:
Two 48-year-old men, one Indian and one Bangladeshi, have been sentenced to pay a total of approximately Rs 90,18,436 (AED 400,000) for causing the death of two Saudi women in a traffic accident in Dubai in July.
A court in Dubai found them guilty. “The driver from India was fined AED 2,000 (approximately Rs 45,092) and ordered to pay AED 80,000 (approximately Rs 18,03,683) in blood money. The Bangladeshi has been told to pay the rest.
According to a report in a local newspaper, the two men have been ordered by a Dubai court to pay the blood money to the families of the victims killed in a car accident in Dubai’s Al-Barsha district on July 3.
“Dubai Traffic Court was told that the men, one from Bangladesh and the other from India, both 48, were driving their cars recklessly on the day of the incident,” the national report said, adding that shortly after the collision died.
Four other members of the family were slightly injured.
According to the report, the Bangladeshi man stopped his car in the middle of the main road and started backing up.
“The Indian, who was in another car, did not see the vehicle and rammed into it. Both cars then hit a third car, containing a family from Saudi Arabia,” the report said.
