"Qatar Releases 8 Indian Navy Veterans Jailed on Espionage Charges, 7 Return to India"

Eight Indian Navy veterans jailed in Qatar on alleged spying charges have been released, with seven of them already back in India after an 18-month jail stay. The veterans were employed by a private firm to assist with the introduction of Italian U212 stealth submarines into the Qatari Emiri Naval Force. They were initially sentenced to death, but India's diplomatic intervention led to the commutation of their capital punishment. The veterans expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian government for securing their release.
