Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya’s execution in Yemen has been temporarily halted as India intensifies diplomatic and legal efforts to save her. Convicted of murdering a Yemeni man in 2017, Priya’s case drew global attention after the victim’s family rejected a $1 million blood money offer. Intervention by religious leader Grand Mufti Kanthapuram helped delay the hanging, while India continues to pursue a settlement and maintain pressure through diplomatic channels.
