Family members of Commodore Sugunakar Pakala, who hails from Visakhapatnam and who was given a death sentence, along with seven other former Navy officers in Doha, Qatar, approached BJP Rajya Sabha MP G. V. L. Narasimha Rao, in Visakhapatnam, for assistance.
In a few hours, MP Narasimha Rao spoke to External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Vipul, Indian Ambassador to Qatar. The shocking death sentence was delivered by a “Court of Primary Instance in Qatar” 14 months after the arrest of former Indian naval officers on unsubstantiated charges of espionage.
Revealing the details of the judgment and the further legal process, MP Narasimha Rao informed that the Court today read out a two line order and the full judgement would be available by Sunday. The judgment can then be appealed against in the “Court of Appeal” within 15 days. After the judgment by the Court of Appeal, there is the highest “Court of Cassation” in Qatar.
Based on his interactions, Mr. Rao, who is also a Member of the Consultative Committee for External Affairs, stated that the Government of India, and in particular the Ministry of External Affairs, will provide all necessary support to ensure justice for our brave-hearts.
