Qatar has sentenced eight former Indian Navy soldiers to death. There is a stir in the whole world after this news. Responding to this matter, the Government of India said it would try to save them through every legal option. The eight Indians were caught in August last year and have been in jail since then.
Now, a court there has sentenced him to death in the espionage case. This court decision may lead to deteriorating relations between India and Qatar. Let us tell you that about 8 lakh Indians live in Qatar.
These Are Those Eight Indian Marines
Indian Navy veterans captured last year include Captain Navtej Singh Gill, Captain Saurabh Vashisht, Commander Purenendu Tiwari, Captain Birendra Kumar Verma, Commander Sugunakar Pakala, Commander Sanjeev Gupta, Commander Amit Nagpal and Sailor Ragesh. These eight former Indian marines were accused of spying for Israel. After this, he was arrested and put in jail. All Indians held senior positions in the Indian Navy and served the country for about 20 years.
Marines Used To Work In This Company
According to the information, all these former marines worked for a Qatari company, Dahra Global Technologies and Consultancy Services. This company provides other services to the Qatar Armed Forces. The company’s owner is a retired squadron leader of Oman Air Force, Khamis Al Azmi. The special thing is that Ajmi was also caught with these Indians, but he was released last year.
What Options Are Left Now?
The eight Indians sentenced in Qatar may get some relief in future if they appeal according to Qatar’s judicial system. According to news agency Reuters, the eight Indians facing the death penalty can appeal against their sentence. If India wants, it can also take this matter to the International Court. The governments of India and Qatar can stop this punishment by talking to each other.
