A court here has commuted the death sentence given to 10 Indian men for murdering a Pakistani man in 2015 following a feud over bootlegging. According to the verdict on Thursday by the Al Ain Court of Appeals, the Indian men from Punjab will now serve jail terms ranging from one to three and a half years, Gulf News reported. Indian charity organisation Sarbat Da Bhala, run by Dubai-based Indian businessman SPS Oberoi, had paid blood money as compensation to victim Mohammad Farhan’s family and they agreed to pardon the Indian men.
