KUWAIT CITY, April 1: A Kuwaiti citizen, born in 1995, has been placed on the wanted list after failing to appear before the Shamiya Investigations Department regarding a forgery case involving a customary document. A security source revealed that another citizen, born in 1998, filed a report at the Shamiya Police Station. According to the complainant, the defendant (his friend) had requested permission in 2022 to obtain a telephone line in his name, promising to cover the costs.

However, in 2024, the victim discovered—during a routine visit to the telecom company—that he had an outstanding debt for a smartphone and headphones registered under his name. The company confirmed that the charges were linked to a contract signed when the line was activated.

The complainant clarified that their agreement only covered a smartphone line, not a bundled package including a smartphone with a headphone set. He claimed he was unaware of how the additional items were added to his account.

The victim requested the telecom company to provide the contract bearing his signature, which supposedly authorized the purchase of the mobile phone and accessories. However, the company failed to produce the document.

The complainant provided investigators with the defendant’s phone number and a copy of his civil ID. When detectives attempted to contact the suspect, he refused to answer and later turned off his phone, prompting authorities to issue a warrant for his arrest.
