Qatar Death Penality

Eight Indian nationals were found guilty of spying for Israel and given the death penalty in Qatar this week. When they were detained more than a year ago, these former navy personnel were engaged in a pearl diving operation for Qatari authorities. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs plans to speak with Qatari authorities about the situation and is now looking into legal options. The people are suspected of spying for Israel, according to sources in both nations who spoke with Reuters. They are given the opportunity to challenge the death penalty. Qatar Death Penality

Parliament panel could advise the government to make adultery as a crime once more.

According to reports, a legislative committee is thinking about suggesting that the area’s antiquated adultery rules be changed. Three measures to change the Indian Evidence Act, the Criminal Procedure Code, and the Indian Penal Code are presently being reviewed by this committee. Amit Shah, the home minister, presented these proposals in August, with a three-month review period. The opposition members asked for a three-month extension before the committee could adopt the bill reports during their most recent meeting. November 6th is the date of the next meeting.

It is expected that the committee would suggest reclassifying adultery as a crime that is gender-neutral, which may lead to prosecution of both men and women for having sexual intercourse with someone without their spouse’s permission. Given that the court has already concluded that the adultery statute violates Articles 14, 15, 19, and 21 of the Indian Constitution, the constitutional viability of the law has also come up for consideration. Although non-consensual sexual relations and bestiality are still covered under Section 377, there are no provisions in the Indian Penal Code that deal with these charges against men, women, or transgender people. 28 October Headlines

Eight-hour battle between Indian and Pakistani forces has border communities in Jammu terrified.

An unsettling quiet has descended in the border villages following an eight-hour battle between Indian and Pakistani forces near the Line of Control (LoC) in the Arnia sector of Jammu. The 2003 ceasefire was broken by the skirmish, which was the first time Pakistan Rangers had used mortar rounds since the truce’s February 2021 amendment. Two BSF personnel were hurt earlier on October 17, when the major source of tension was light small-arms fire.

Homes and crops in the vicinity were damaged when the fighting started on Thursday night at approximately eight o’clock. Now, the Border Security Force is at maximum readiness. Though they have returned to their communities, the locals are nonetheless worried about the possibility of fresh conflicts. The event comes after five terrorists were slain in a Kupwara battle against infiltrators. Over the last eight months, attempts to breach the LoC have been reported by Major General Girish Kalia. 28 October Headlines
