Two men from Kerala, Muhammed Rinash A and Muraleedharan P V, were executed in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after being convicted in separate murder cases. The executions took place after all legal procedures and appeals were exhausted.
Muhammed Rinash, a native of Kannur, was working at a travel agency in Al Ain before his arrest. He was sentenced to death for the murder of a UAE national. Muraleedharan P V was convicted of killing a fellow Indian expatriate.
UAE authorities officially informed the Indian embassy about the executions on February 28. Following this, the embassy contacted the families of the deceased. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) confirmed that all possible legal and consular assistance had been provided to them during their trials.
The incident underscores the UAE’s stringent legal system, where capital punishment is strictly enforced for grave offenses.
