Fourteen Indians, who were languishing in jails in Dubai for non-premeditated murders and other traffic accident related cases, have been released in the last one year under an initiative launched by a community organisation here which paid blood-money.
The initiative called Project Eagle launched by Indian Community Welfare Committee (ICWC) has managed to secure the release of 14 Indians in the last one year, its senior official said.
K Kumar, head of ICWC, said the organisation raised a total of 729,000 dirhams (Rs 9,433,276.84) after an appeal to the Indian community to help those stuck in jail for non-premeditated murders and other traffic accident related cases.
ICWC was established under the patronage of the Indian Consulate which reaches out to the most vulnerable sections of the Indian community in Dubai and the Northern Emirates.
