"Offering All Possible Assistance In Nimisha Priya Case": India

India is offering all possible help to the family of Nimisha Priya as she remains on the death row in Yemen for killing her husband, a Yemeni citizen.

The nurse from Kerala's Palakkad district was scheduled to be executed on Wednesday. The local authorities at the last minute postponed the execution.

"This is a sensitive matter and the government of India has been offering all possible assistance in the case. We have provided legal assistance and appointed a lawyer to assist the family. We have also arranged regular consular visits and been in constant touch with the local authorities and the family members to resolve the issue," Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a press briefing today.
