In a significant diplomatic victory for India, Qatar has released eight former Indian Navy personnel, previously accused of espionage, in what is being viewed as a major strategic triumph. According to media reports, Qatar acquitted the eight Indian ex-naval officers against whom allegations of espionage had been leveled.
These individuals had faced the possibility of a death sentence in connection with the case. Subsequently, the Modi government took swift action, and now reports indicate that seven of them have returned to India.
This development marks a positive turn in the complex diplomatic and legal situation surrounding the case, demonstrating successful negotiations between the Indian and Qatari authorities.
