Qatar: Capital punishment for 8 former Indian Navy officers, India seeks legal options

A court in Qatar has handed down the death penalty to eight former Indian Navy personnel who have been detained in the country for over a year. The Indian government expressed shock over the sentencing and vowed to explore all available legal options to secure the release of its citizens. The Qatar court has sentenced eight Indians to death, the ministry of external affairs said on Thursday. "We are deeply shocked by the verdict of death penalty and are awaiting the detailed judgment. We are in touch with the family members and the legal team, and we are exploring all legal options," MEA said in a statement. "We attach high importance to this case and have been following it closely. We will continue to extend all consular and legal assistance. We will also take up the verdict with Qatari authorities," it added. In 2022, eight retired Indian Navy personnel working for a defence services provider company in Qatar were taken into custody by the authorities there. Since then, these men were kept in solitary confinement without the Qatari authorities specifying the reason for the detention to the families of the eight men. #qatar #indiannavy #india #latestnews #breakingnews Subscribe to The Times of India's YouTube channel: http://goo.gl/WgIatu For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook:   / timesofindia   Instagram:   / timesofindia   Download the app: http://toi.in/3SLUCa80 Follow the TOI WhatsApp channel: https://bit.ly/3RYl0J9 Follow TOI+ for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook:   / timesofindiaplus   Twitter:   / toiplus   Instagram:   / toi_plus
