'Pretty cooked': Ben Stokes after leading England to Epic Lord's triumph
The Indian government told the Supreme Court that it has limited options in the case of Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse on death row in Yemen. Scheduled to be executed on July 16, Nimisha is accused of murdering her abusive partner, a Yemeni national. Her family has offered ₹8.6 crore as blood money under Sharia law, but the government says it can only operate through private channels, as India has no diplomatic ties with Yemen, which is controlled by Houthi rebels. The Attorney General stated that going public could make matters worse. The Supreme Court has listed the next hearing for July 18, two days after the planned execution.#nimishapriya #yemenexecution #keralanurse #bloodmoney #indiayemencrisis #supremecourtindia #nimishapriyacase #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews
