Qatar sentences 8 Indian ex-naval officers to death for undisclosed crime - possibly spying
India has said it is exploring all legal options after a court in Qatar sentenced eight former Indian naval officers to death on unspecified charges.
Reports say the men, who worked with a private company in Qatar, were arrested last year on suspicion of spying.
Neither Qatar nor India have revealed the specific charges against them.
...
According to The Hindu newspaper, the men were allegedly accused of "breaching sensitive secrets" but neither of the governments have confirmed this. The BBC could not independently verify the allegations but has reached out to the Qatar embassy with questions.
