Shahzadi Khan, a 33-year-old woman from Uttar Pradesh’s Banda district, is currently on death row in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after being convicted of allegedly killing a child in her care. She is presently imprisoned in Al Wathba jail, in Abu Dhabi.
This case came to light on Monday, February 17, when reports surfaced suggesting that Shahzadi’s execution was imminent and scheduled to take place within 24 hours.
These claims were based on an emotional phone call she made to her family on Sunday, February 16, where she tearfully told her father.
