Fingerprints trap 36 Bangladeshis entering on Nepali passports
KUWAIT CITY, April 30: Deputy Director of the Airport Security Department Iyad Al-Haddad has referred 36 Bangladeshis to the Public Prosecution for entering the country on forged passports issued by the government of Nepal, reports Al-Anba daily.
According to security sources the forgers had earlier been deported from the country. The daily added the suspects arrived into the country on different flights.
During interrogation the forgers admitted to buying the passports from an unidentified person in Nepal each costing the equivalent of between KD 150 and KD 200.
The daily added the fingerprint system which has been installed at the airport has largely proved successful in preventing ‘unwanted’ people from entering the country.
Bangladeshi poisoned: A Bangladeshi driver working for a Kuwaiti family has been admitted to the Farwaniya Hospital after mistakenly eating rat poison, reports Al-Rai daily.
According to reports the driver kept the poisonous substance in an empty salt container and mistakenly sprinkled it on his food.
Rape absconder held: Police have arrested a Kuwaiti man for driving under the influence of alcohol and impersonating police, reports Al-Anba daily.
The man approached a police checkpoint in Amman Street and claimed he was a police captain. When police checked his documents they discovered he was lying.
At the same checkpoint, police caught another Kuwaiti who was wanted by law and had been sentenced in absentia to 10 years imprisonment for ‘raping’ a female compatriot after promising to marry her.
