The Indian government told the Supreme Court it has exhausted all efforts to save Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya, set for execution in Yemen on July 16 for killing her abusive business partner in 2017. India lacks formal ties with the Houthi regime controlling Sana'a, complicating intervention. The government approached an influential Yemeni sheikh, but no official reprieve has followed. Attempts to offer “blood money” under Sharia law were also rejected by the victim’s family, citing “honour.” Priya’s mother remains in Sana’a seeking clemency. The Supreme Court admitted its hands are tied as the case falls under foreign jurisdiction. (PC: HT)
