After the death of local businessman Talal Abdo Mehdi in Yemen, his brother Abdul Fatah Mehdi has demanded a new date to hang Indian nurse Nimisha Priya accused of murder. In 2017, Nimisha Priya, a resident of the state of Kerala, India, was convicted for the murder of Talal, a resident of Yemen.

Abdul Fatah Mehdi, brother of the deceased Talal, sent a formal letter to the Attorney General of Yemen, Abdul Salam Al-Huti on Sunday (August 3, 2025), in which he appealed to immediately keep a new date to hang the accused. However, the court of Yemen initially fixed the date of July 16 to punish Nimisha Priya, accused of murder, but was later postponed.

The family of the deceased refused to forgive the accused

In a formal letter sent to the Attorney General of Yemen, the family of the deceased said that he would not forgive the accused Nimisha Priya for the murder and he is not ready for any reconciliation. He said, “We do not want any reconciliation in this case. More than half a month has passed since the execution of the hanging, but still a new date has not been announced. We demand to fulfill our rights to punish the accused.”

Abdul had sent a letter earlier to demand a new hanging date

The deceased’s brother Abdul Fatah Mehdi sent a letter on 25 July before Sunday (August 3, 2025) demanding a new date for hanging. Apart from this, he also criticized the Indian media for suggesting to give forgiveness to accused Nimisha Priya and declared any news of forgiveness as misleading. Abdul said, “Talal’s blood will not be like an object in the market of agreement.
