flag Retired Indian Navy officer Purnendu Tiwary remains jailed in Qatar in early 2026 despite a 2023 pardon, facing new charges and deteriorating health.

flag Retired Indian Navy Commander Purnendu Tiwary, 65, remains imprisoned in Qatar in early 2026 after being re-arrested on new charges of criminal conspiracy and money laundering, despite a 2023 royal pardon that allowed seven other former officers to return to India. flag His sister, Dr. Meetu Bhargava, has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar for urgent diplomatic intervention, citing a travel ban linked to his former employer’s financial issues and his deteriorating health due to chronic conditions and prolonged solitary confinement. flag The Indian government has not publicly responded to the appeal, and Tiwary’s case remains unresolved amid ongoing bilateral ties between India and Qatar.
