SHARJAH: The case involving the release of 17 Indians facing death penalty in Sharjah for murdering a Pakistani national has taken another turn. The colleagues of the murdered Pakistani are now demanding that they be compensated just like the victim's family.
The Indians are in jail since 2009 for the murder of Misri Khan, a Pakistani citizen, and are awaiting death sentence awarded by a Dubai court on March 18, 2010. The jailed Indians were hoping for their release after they paid 3.43 million Dirham to the family members of Misri Khan. His family had submitted application granting pardon to the convicts on July 27, 2011. This cleared the way for their release.
The release is being mediated by the Dubai-based Indian Punjabi Society. Talking to Dainik Bhaskar over phone, S P Singh Oberoi, the founder member of the society, said that during the brawl in which Misri Khan was killed, his friends Mushtaq Ahmad and Shahid Iqbal, suffered injuries. They have now filed a petition in a Dubai Court asking for compensation. If the court accepts their petition, a new date for hearing the case will be given.
