Two Indian Nationals Executed In UAE On Murder Charges, Says MEA

Two Indian nationals convicted in separate murder cases have been executed in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) confirmed on Thursday.

The executed individuals were identified as Muhammed Rinash Arangilottu and Muraleedharan Perumthatta Valappil. The UAE’s Court of Cassation upheld their death sentences.

MEA Provided Consular Assistance

“The embassy provided all possible consular and legal assistance, including sending mercy petitions and pardon requests to the UAE government,” the MEA said, according to ANI. The UAE authorities informed the embassy on February 28, 2025, that the executions had been carried out.

The MEA stated that the families of the two men were informed. The embassy remained in touch with them and assisted in their participation in the last rites.

“Burial of Muhammed Rinash Arangilottu took place today. His family attended and participated in prayers before his burial,” the MEA added.

Shahzadi Khan Executed In UAE Last Month

Last month, Shahzadi Khan, a 33-year-old woman from Uttar Pradesh’s Banda district, was executed in the UAE on February 15. She was sentenced to death for the death of a child under her care.

Her father, Shabbir Khan, claimed she was innocent, stating that the child had received a vaccine earlier that day. He criticized the lack of financial support to challenge the verdict.

“I tried everything to reverse the judgment, but we had no money to travel or hire lawyers. The government did not support us,” he said.

The MEA confirmed that the Indian embassy in Abu Dhabi had sent mercy petitions and pardon requests to the UAE government on her behalf.
