IndiaTimes Friday, 27 October 2023
Commander Sugunakar Pakala, one of the eight former Indian naval officers facing a death sentence in Qatar, has had an impressive career and achieved the milestone of crossing the equator twice on INS Tarangini. His family and friends in Visakhapatnam are shocked by the court's decision and are hoping for his release before his birthday. Sugunakar joined the Navy at 18 and had a successful career before retiring in 2013. He was working for Al Dahra Global Technologies when he was arrested.

This call comes amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Hamas negotiators were anticipated to convene with Qatari and Egyptian mediators in Cairo on Monday to provide a response to Israel's phased truce proposal, which was presented over the weekend.
