KUWAIT CITY, Dec 24: The Capital Investigations Department was unable to settle a claim made by a lawyer who accused two citizens of publicly insulting her and inciting her to debauchery after they allegedly told her that her car tire was flat. According to the investigation report, surveillance cameras confirmed the defendants' presence near the complainant’s vehicle at the time of the incident.

However, the investigation did not provide sufficient evidence to support the allegations of insult or incitement. A Kuwaiti woman in her 40s, who works as a lawyer, reported at the Shamiya Police Station that she had been publicly insulted by the driver of a pickup truck and incited to debauchery and immorality by the driver’s companion in Shuwaikh Industrial area. She said: “What happened was that I was parking my vehicle in a lot parallel to the road in Shuwaikh when another vehicle stopped in the middle of the road, the driver opened the front right window, and his companion, who was sitting next to him, said, “Your tire is flat”, to incite me to immorality and debauchery. I replied, “Trust in God”. The driver then directed obscene words at me and left the scene. I followed him and took down the license plate number. I can identify them if they are shown to me.” After the case was registered, it was referred to the Capital Investigations Department, who were able to identify the defendants, two Kuwaiti citizens aged 19 and 21.

They voluntarily came to the investigation, and when questioned, the driver of the vehicle completely denied the accusations, explaining that he and his companion had noticed the complainant’s tire was flat, so his companion informed her that the air in her tire was low. The complainant responded by saying, “Move it.” The vehicle’s driver’s companion also denied the charges of insulting and using obscene language. The case file has been forwarded to the concerned authority to continue the investigation.
