An image of the young man dancing in front of his car while smoking and dancing has gone viral on social media, creating anger in the muslim country.

Based on the video, the ministry launched an investigation and arrested the man. It appears that the man was in a disturbed state.

Kuwaiti law forbids Muslims from drinking and eating in public during the daytime in Ramadan.

According to article No. 206 of the law, individuals who consume drugs in public places or places where others can see them are subject to imprisonment not exceeding six months and/or fines not exceeding 50 dinars. In the event of intoxication, the same penalty will apply.
