Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has also written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding diplomatic intervention to stop the execution of Nimisha.
Sentenced to death of business partner
The Ministry of External Affairs said that we are trying to provide all possible help to the families of Nimisha. The documents of Yemen’s court alleged that nurse Nimisha Priya killed her business partner Talal Abdo Mehdi. Not only this, after the murder, he had threw his body into the tank with the help of another nurse.
What does Nimisha’s family say?
Nimisha Priya’s family members dismissed these allegations outright that she had not committed murder, but Nimisha had allegedly injected her unconsciousness to get her seized passport, but she died due to overdose.
Nimisha Priya filed a petition in Yemen’s Supreme Court against the death sentence, but she was dismissed. He also appealed to the President of Yemen for mercy, but she was also not accepted.
