After two decades away from home, Shri Abdul Raheem is finally returning to his family in Kozhikode, Kerala. His flight to India left moments ago.

Shri Abdul Raheem, who was facing a death sentence, has been pardoned and released after spending 20 years in prison. Throughout this period, the Embassy consistently pursued his case with Saudi authorities and regularly monitored his well-being. Members of the Indian community also extended remarkable support through a crowdfunding campaign.

We express our sincere gratitude to the concerned Saudi authorities for their cooperation, and to the Indian community for their unwavering support, solidarity and faith in the judicial process.

The Embassy extends its warmest wishes to Shri Abdul Raheem and his family.
