Hours after the Yemeni authorities deferred the execution of Indian nurse Nimisha Priya until a new date was announced, the brother of Talal Abdo Mahdi, the Yemeni man she murdered in 2017, on Wednesday said that his family does not wish anything less than the execution of the convict.

Won't pardon Nimisha: Brother of victim at centre of execution case

While the deferral of the capital punishment was welcomed by the family of Priya and the Indian authorities, the stated position of Mahdi’s family has cast a cloud over the efforts to seek the release of the Kerala nurse. Under the Islamic law, implemented in Yemen, a convict can escape punishment if the victim's family agrees to diyat, a form of financial compensation, in exchange for seeking qisas, or retribution.

Never-ending wait for Bihar’s transformation

Bihar has long functioned asa paradox, a transparent enigma. Its ideas market never loses its sheen, and its caste codes refuse to retire. This duality is not incidental. It is woven into Bihar's political evolution. The state’s public sphere has historically allowed sharp ideological contest-ation, yet its political structures return, almost faithfully, to familiar anchors of caste arithmetic, welfarist governance, and a deep suspicion of unregulated economic mobility. The 2025 election recommits Bihar to this older vocabulary, even as its demographic realities press urgently for a new one.
