Nimisha Priya, hailing from Kollengode in Kerala’s Palakkad district, has been reportedly handed capital punishment for allegedly murdering a Yemeni citizen.
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said New Delhi is extending all possible help in the matter.
“We are aware of the sentencing of Nimisha Priya in Yemen. We understand that the family of Priya is exploring relevant options,” Jaiswal said.
“The government is extending all possible help in the matter,” he added.
Jaiswal was replying to a media query.
