The Joyalukkas group on Friday issued an statement adding that its owner Joy Alukkas is 'safe and healthy' and clarified that Dubai-based businessman Joy Arakkal, reports of whose death has been causing confusion on social media platforms was not associated with the Joyalukkas group.

"In light of the falsified news about Mr. Joy Alukka that has been doing the rounds, Joyalukkas group would like to confirm that he is safe and healthy" the statement clarified.
"The confusing messages, now viral on social media, reports the death of Dubai-based businessman, Mr. Joy Arakkal, who does not have any association with the Joyalukkas group. Joyalukkas mourns his demise and extends heartfelt condolences to the family in this trying time" it further stated.
