Published by

In a shocking update, 8 Indian Navy veterans are sentenced to Death in Qatar.

They have been handed the death penalty in Qatar following allegations of spying for Israel. India’s foreign ministry called the judgment ‘shocking’ and said it would contest the case without commenting anything else due to the confidential nature of proceedings.

The eight men were decorated officers who once commanded major Indian warships. They were working for Dahra Global Technologies and Consultancy Services which provided training services to Qatar’s armed forces. Reports had it that some of them were working on a highly sensitive project based on Italian technology-based midget submarines.

The 8 men have been in jail since August 2022 and have been on trial since March. Their bail pleas were rejected multiple times. Those sentenced are Capt Navtej Singh Gill, Capt Birendra Kumar Verma, Capt Saurabh Vasisht, Cdr Amit Nagpal, Cdr Purnendu Tiwari, Cdr Sugunakar Pakala, Cdr Sanjeev Gupta, and Sailor Ragesh.
