Executed in UAE for killing employer's child, Indian national Shahzadi Khan buried

New Delhi, Mar 6 (UNI) The burial of Shahzadi Khan, an Indian national who was executed by the UAE authorities after being convicted of killing her employer’s baby, was conducted today in Abu Dhabi as per regulations of UAE authorities, the MEA said.
In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs said that a representative of Shazadi’s family was present during the burial.
“Burial of Ms. Shahjadi Khan, an Indian national, was conducted today in Abu Dhabi as per regulations of UAE authorities.
Prior to her burial, the authorized representatives of Ms. Shahjadi's family paid respect to the mortal remains.
They also attended the funeral prayers at the mosque as well as the burial at the Baniyas cemetery.
Embassy officials assisted the authorized representatives in this regard as well as attended the last rites,” the Ministry of External Affairs said.
The 33-year-old woman was executed by the UAE authorities on February 15.
She was convicted on charges of murder of an infant and sentenced to death.
On February 28, the UAE authorities informed the Indian Embassy that the sentence of Shahzadi Khan has been carried out in accordance with local laws. Her family too had been informed of the matter, the MEA said earlier.
The highest court of the UAE, the Court of Cassation, upheld the sentence on Shahzadi.
“The Indian Embassy provided all possible legal assistance to Ms. Shahzadi, including sending mercy petitions and pardon requests to the Government of the UAE,” the MEA said.
Shahzadi Khan hailed from Uttar Pradesh’s Banda district.
