Abdul Rahim's release delayed as Riyadh court adjourns verdict again

The court convened its third hearing on Rahim's case on the day, which was attended online by Rahim, his lawyer Osama Al Amber, Indian Embassy official Yusuf Kakanchery, and family representative Siddique Thuvvur. However, the case was adjourned for further deliberations.

Rahim, who had earlier been sentenced to death, had his sentence commuted after a compensation of 1.5 crore Saudi riyals (approximately ₹34 crore) was paid. However, his release remains entangled in legal complexities as unresolved public law aspects of the case continue to hinder closure.
