It's actually a really bad policy. You have to remember things are generally "tit for tat", and now India could well execute some Qatari "spies".
The likelihood of escalation into war is generally why spies/diplomats are expelled rather than killed.
True, that's one of the things that simmered down the cold War, that if spies were caught you'd be able to trade them back.
