The Mahdi family has refused to waive India’s nurse Nimisha Priya, who was trapped in the murder of Yemen’s citizen Talal Abdo Mahdi.

According to a CNBC report, Mehdi’s brother Abdul Fatah Mahdi clearly said on social media that he does not want any apology or compromise in the murder of his brother.

Mahdi said that ‘justice will win’ may be delayed in punishment, but ‘will take revenge’. Mahdi further said that no matter how much pressure or pleas, they will not forgive and will not take blood money (money given in lieu of blood). Nimisha was to be sentenced to death on 16 July, but is currently postponed.

Mehdi said- Nimisha should be sentenced to death

In an interview to BBC Arabic, Mahdi also said that he demands ‘Kisas’ ie revenge under the Sharia Act. Nimisha should be sentenced to death.

He described Nimisha’s claim as false in which he said that Talal Mehdi had confiscated her passport and tortured. According to him, all these things have been fabricated to make him innocent.

He also said that not only murder, but the long legal battle of this case for years has also caused a lot of damage to his family. Therefore, they do not want to take any amount of compensation.

Mehdi said- Nimisha’s claim to seize passport is false

Mahdi said in a Facebook post that some Indian media institutions are deliberately spreading false claims that Talal had seized or exploited Nimisha’s passport.

But this is completely wrong. Mahdi claimed that neither Nimisha Priya herself nor her legal team ever made any such allegation in the court.

He also said that in the entire legal process of Nimisha, lawyers appointed by the Indian Embassy were present and all the proceedings were transparent.

Mahdi accused the Indian media that she was presenting the convict as the victim. He wrote, “Its purpose is to mislead the public and create false sympathy for the criminal.”

The religious leaders of India and Yemen spoke

According to the report, Grand Mufti AP Abubakar Musalupi of Kanthapuram in India and the famous Sufi scholar of Yemen Sheikh Habib Umar bin Hafiz spoke on the issue. It also included a judge of the Supreme Court of Yemen and the brother of the deceased.

Sheikh Habib of Yemen was celebrated by Mufti Musaliar for talks. This is also the first time that a close member of the victim’s family is ready to talk.

The conversation took place under the Sharia Act, which gives the victim’s family legal right to forgive the guilty unconditionally or in exchange for blood money.

Negotiations took place through Riyadh, not Indian Embassy in Yemen

India does not have a permanent diplomatic mission in Yemen. In 2015, the Indian embassy was closed in the capital Sanaa due to political instability and was transferred to Djibouti.

The Government of India talks to the government of Yemen mainly through ‘Non-Regrant Ambassador’. The Government of India is currently talking through the ambassador present in Riyadh.

The Supreme Court expressed concern over Nimisha’s sentence

The Government of India had said in the Supreme Court on Monday that it cannot do much in the case of Nimisha. Attorney General R Venkatarmani had told the court- we can only go to an extent and we have reached there.

In this case, the lawyer of ‘Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council’ told the court that the only way to save her is to accept the family of the deceased ‘blood money’ (compensation).

The victim’s family was offered US $ 1 million (about 8.5 crore rupees), but he turned down it. The family had said that the matter is related to their honor.
