“Met this morning with the families of the 8 Indians detained in Qatar. Stressed that Government attaches the highest importance to the case. Fully share the concerns and pain of the families,” the foreign minister wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Underlined that Government will continue to make all efforts to secure their release. Will coordinate closely with the families in that regard,” he added.
It is to be noted here that the former Indian Navy officers were arrested in August 2022 on undeclared charges, though believed to be espionage, in August 2022. Since then, their bail petitions were repeatedly rejected and on October 26, a Qatar court gave them death sentence.
