NEW DELHI: The execution of Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya in Yemen has been postponed following intervention from the Grand Mufti, as her family seeks justice for the murder of Talal Abdo Mahdi, emphasizing the need for Qisas (retaliation). The Indian government noted that paying “blood money” under Sharia law may be the only option to prevent her execution, as Priya remains imprisoned after being sentenced to death in 2020.
