The story of Nimisha Priya, a Kerala nurse whose death sentence in Yemen was overturned just one day before her scheduled execution, reveals a complex case that made international headlines.
What began as her search for a better life in Yemen turned into years of alleged abuse, a stolen passport, and ultimately a crime that shocked two nations.
The gruesome details of the murder case painted one picture, but investigations revealed a darker story of possible torture, fake marriage documents, and being trapped in a war-torn country.
On July 15, 2025, with just 24 hours remaining, India's Grand Mufti intervened in a last-ditch effort that successfully postponed her execution. The case continues as families from both countries negotiate, leaving Nimisha's future hanging in the balance.
