"Indian Navy Veterans' Release from Qatar: Unraveling the Role of Shah Rukh Khan and Diplomatic Triumph"

Retired Indian Navy officer Ragesh Gopakumar, who was released after 529 days in a Qatar jail, expressed confusion about the reasons for their arrest, stating that their agency had no direct links with Qatar's defense sector. Gopakumar, along with seven other Indian instructors, was given death sentences and jailed, but after intervention from the Indian embassy, foreign ministry, and Prime Minister Modi, they were eventually released.
