Mumbai:
Thanks to a father s efforts, an Indian couple was finally able to return home on Wednesday, more than 20-months after they were sentenced to 10-year jail by a court in Qatar on drug trafficking charges.
On July 6, 2019, Mohammad Shareeq and his wife Oniba Kauser Shakeel Ahmed were arrested at Doha s Hamad International Airport by Qatar s drug enforcement agencies.
The couple was cheated by drug traffickers on the pretext of a honeymoon package in India.
The traffickers, after gaining the couple s confidence, had given them a bag containing contraband (drugs), telling them that it contained tobacco.
