Riyadh asked to reconsider eye gouging ruling
India has asked Saudi Arabia to sympathetically review the case of an Indian worker after a court ordered that his eye be gouged out for accidentally blinding a Saudi national in one eye during a scuffle.
E. Ahamed, India’s junior foreign minister, told Parliament that a Saudi court had ordered that the worker, Abdul Lateef Naushad’s right eye be gouged out after the Saudi citizen, Naif Al-Otaibi, lost his right eye during a fight.
