Truth

Joy Arakkal of Innova Group died, not Jaoy Alukkas who is the owner of ‘Joy Alukkas’

The news has been taken out of context. The articles announces the sad demise of Joy Arrakkal, who is business man from Kerala who was the managing director of UAE based Innova  group  of companies. He was however declared dead after a sudden heart attack according to reports and not due to Coronavirus. Another important fact to note that the owner and founder of Joy Alukkas is Joy Alukkas himself. Hence, Joy Arakkal was not associated to Joy Alukkas and hence the owner of the jewellery chain is not the one being mentioned in the above articles.
