Indian Carrying Friend Parcel Lands Him In Kuwait Jail

In another case of getting trapped into for carrying illegal substance without knwowledge, one more Indain natioanl landed up in Kuwait jail for carrying a parcel given by a friend. 47-year-old Kabeer from Perumbavur in Kerala landed at the Kuwait International Airport on November 21 and security officials retrieved narcotics from his baggage. 

According to his relatives, Kabeer was tricked into carrying the drugs by one of his friends in Kuwait, a native of Ponjassery near here.His wife has already approached Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and the NORKA-Roots, seeking their intervention into the issue. 

“A couple of days before leaving for Kuwait last week, Kabeer got a call from his friend in Kuwait requesting him to bring a parcel from his home. Kabeer agreed but made the mistake of not checking the parcel when it arrived—just a couple of hours before he was about to catch his flight,” said E.K. Usman, one of Kabeer’s relatives. 

It was a common friend of the duo who delivered the package. Instead of handing it over to Kabeer, the friend replaced it with another packet carrying the drugs and gave it to Kabeer through his mother, Usman alleged. 
“As he was in a hurry to leave, Kabeer or his wife did not have the time to open the packet. They just placed it inside a bag and left for the airport,” he added. As soon as he was apprehended at the airport, Kabeer contacted his wife Sajitha over phone and alerted her. 

The Kerala police, meanwhile, have registered an FIR based on a complaint by Kabeer’s relatives and confirmed that both the friends had been absconding.
