As postponed to the execution of Nimisha Priya, the brother of the victim said his family wanted nothing but the convicted person
The execution, originally scheduled for July 16, was postponed, the sources in Nový Delhi said on Tuesday. Priya, which comes from the Kollegod in the district of Kerala Palakkad, was found guilty of the murder of the Yemeni citizen – TALAL ABDO Mahdi – in July 2017.
Sources added that the Indian government has made common efforts in recent days to seek more time for the Priya family to achieve a “mutually acceptable” solution with the other party.

The Indian party even explored the possibility to ensure the release of Priya through “diyat” or pay “blood money”. But that also came across some problems, learning.
