(Original) Qatar Death Sentence: An 8 counts conspiracy against 8 ex-Indian Navy officials

Dead men walking !! The noise as a sudden shock reaches to New Delhi and they come to know about the eight Indians who have been awarded death sentence in Qatar.

The External Affairs Ministry showing its ignorance about the matter is in touch with the family and the government officials of Qatar. The Ministry says it will not leave any stone unturned to bring the Indians back out of the noose.

Going through the entire story, it appears more a conspiracy than a crime story. For the eight unfortunate Indians there are eight counts possibilities apparently show it all a trap.

Numero uno count is too loud and clear to the world. Qatar being a civilized country hailing from middle east, has an unnatural trait which does not belong to a civil society. It gives an open license to terror. The top terrorist outfits of the world including Hamas, have their offices in Qatar. Talibans are also one of them.

Then a country like India that openly opposes terrorism can never be in good books of Qatar. India recently has criticized Hamas terror attack on Israel which is more than a reason for Qatar to be annoyed with the people of India working on their soil.

Reason number two could be a inner rift between the two governments, i.e. Qatar and India. The reason being, one of the detainees from India who have been given the death penalty, Commandar Poornendu Tiwari is the one who is known to be the one who had brought the two governments closer. The former Navy officer has also been awarded the honor of The Best NRI (Pravaasi Bharatiya Puraskar) in 2019 by Indian Government. Now the same officer gets sentenced that too a death penalty, this creates doubts.

Reason three also finds a black in the bottom. Why India or Indian External Affairs Ministry was not told about the detention of the 8 men last year? They were arrested on 30th August 2022, and India came to know about it after three months in October 2022.

Why they did not allow a Councillor Access to the detainees initially? Why the Access was allowed after fifteen months i.e. one year and three months? This shows the grave nature of the conspiracy. The Councillor Access is a normal legal process which is provided to each and every foreign national in any country outside of their motherland.

Reason five is seen when the entire legal process was done but Indian Government had not been taken into confidence entirely during the fifteen month from August 30, 2022 to October 26, 2023. Why so? Even if it was so-called sensitive matter belonging to the security issues of Qatar, it could have been discussed with Indian Government. India’s representation during the hearing was a must but .. Why so?

The factual sense of conspiracy is also seen on the sixth count here. The detainees were as per the allegation, spying for Israel? If Qatar King is supporting Hamas, obviously it opposes Israel. India supported Israel and Qatar King did not digest the fact and released its frustration on the former Indian Naval force’s officers.

On the seventh count, it is heard that the detainees released confidential info to the country they were spying for and this info belonged to Italian design of the submarines Qatar is using. How come these foreign nationals had access to the top confidential info of the Qatar Navy?

Why the owner of the Company, Al Dahra Global Technologies & Consultancy Services Pvt Limited was released within two months of arrest? If this was a really a case of spying, how come he was not involved? Even if he was not involved, how did you get to know this only in two months when you took 18 months to find the involvement of the 8 officers?

Other than the eight possible reasons, India was not given any proof of any such activity of these men? If so, how can they be charged of spying and given the Capital Punishment?
