Indian Man from Kerala Kills Wife, Commits Suicide in Kuwait
KUWAIT CITY, May 2 : A routine alert turned into a chilling investigation for Farwaniya security personnel after the Operations Room of the Ministry of Interior received a report that led them to a quiet apartment in the densely populated area of Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh. What unfolded behind the locked doors of the residence was a scene of unspeakable horror.
Responding officers arrived at the apartment and, after repeated unanswered knocks, grew suspicious of the silence within. With no response and mounting concern, authorities sought and received approval from the Public Prosecutor to forcibly enter the premises. Inside, they discovered the body of an Asian woman, lying lifeless with her veins slit in what appeared to be a deliberate and brutal act. Blood was found splattered across the hallway, bearing grim witness to the violence that had taken place. Further inspection of the apartment led officers to a second body — the woman's husband. According to initial reports, he is believed to have taken his own life shortly after killing his wife.
Neighbors told police they had heard the couple engage in a loud and violent argument earlier that day. This was followed by the woman's screams for help. However, despite their alarm, fear prevented any of them from intervening or contacting authorities in time. Investigations revealed that the couple were both Indian nationals and medical professionals — the woman in her 30s and the man in his 40s. The tragedy is made all the more jarring by the fact that both individuals had dedicated their careers to saving lives.
Sources confirmed their identities as Sooraj and Bincy, originally from Ernakulam, in the southern Indian state of Kerala. Sooraj was employed by Kuwait's Ministry of Health, while Bincy worked for the Ministry of Defence. Reports indicate the couple had recently traveled to India to take their two children back to their homeland. They had returned to Kuwait just days before the fatal incident, leaving the children in the care of family members in India.
The Public Prosecutor, after visiting the scene, ordered forensic teams to collect evidence and fingerprints. The bodies have since been transferred to the Department of Forensic Medicine for further examination. The motive behind the apparent murder-suicide remains unclear, and authorities have launched a full-scale investigation to determine the circumstances that led to this devastating end. As the community reels from the shock, questions linger — not only about what could drive two professionals to such a tragic conclusion, but also about the silent cries that went unheard until it was too late.

Pakistani troops kill 14 militants in raid in northwest region near Afghanistan
ISLAMABAD, June 4, (AP): Pakistan's security forces raided a militant hideout and killed 14 insurgents during a shootout in the country's northwest, the military said Wednesday. The overnight raid was conducted on the reported presence of Pakistani Taleban belonging to an Indian proxy in North Waziristan, a district in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the military said in a statement. New Delhi did not immediately comment. Pakistan's military said sanitization operations are being conducted to eliminate Pakistani Taleban groups it says are sponsored by India. Pakistani authorities often accuse India of backing outlawed Baloch Liberation Army and Pakistani Taleban groups that commit violence in Pakistan. The accusations have intensified since May in the wake of heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed nations. There has been a cross-border escalation between the countries over the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, which is divided between the two but sought in its entirety by each. The Pakistani Taleban, which calls itself Tehrik-e-Taleban Pakistan, or TTP, has been emboldened since its allies, the Afghan Taleban, returned to power in 2021. Many TTP leaders and fighters have taken sanctuary in Afghanistan.

Two Commerce Ministry employees sentenced to 10 years for bribery, abuse of power
KUWAIT CITY, June 4: The Criminal Court, presided over by Counselor Abdulwahab Al-Maili, sentenced two employees of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry—a supervisor and a transaction coordinator—to 10 years in prison each. In addition, they were fined 400,000 Kuwaiti dinars and dismissed from their positions. The court found them guilty of abusing their authority, accepting bribes to overlook commercial violations, and fabricating false violations. Meanwhile, the court exempted a resident from punishment after he confessed to involvement with the defendants. The Ministry of Interior had earlier announced the arrest of the two ministry employees and their accomplice on charges of exploiting their positions, accepting bribes to ignore commercial violations, and fabricating false ones. According to a press release by the General Department of Public Relations and Security Media, law enforcement received intelligence regarding individuals exploiting their roles to accept bribes. After securing legal approval, the suspects were caught red-handed receiving 50,000 Kuwaiti dinars out of an agreed total bribe of 200,000 dinars. The operation, conducted in cooperation with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, is part of ongoing security efforts to combat corruption and enhance public safety. Authorities emphasized that the suspects have been referred to competent legal bodies for prosecution. Security officials stressed that the law applies equally to all, with no exceptions, and reaffirmed their commitment to pursuing anyone who threatens national security.

KD 800,000 Gold Heist: Indian And Pakistani Expats, Kuwaiti Mother-Daughter Duo Convicted
KUWAIT CITY, June 2: The Criminal Court has issued its verdict in a high-profile theft and money laundering case involving the embezzlement of more than KD 800,000 from a jewelry company. Four individuals, an Indian expat employee of the company, a Pakistani jewelry vendor, a Kuwaiti woman, and her daughter, were convicted in connection with the crime. The court sentenced the Indian employee, who was present during the proceedings, and the Pakistani vendor, who was tried in absentia, to 10 years of imprisonment with hard labor. The Kuwaiti woman was sentenced to five years with hard labor, while her daughter received a five-year suspended sentence, conditional upon a KD 5,000 bail. All four defendants were jointly fined KD 809,000. Additionally, the court referred the civil lawsuit filed by the affected jewelry company to the appropriate judicial authority. Investigations revealed that the Indian employee had been systematically stealing jewelry, gold ornaments, and cash from the company over a period extending from 2002 until the end of 2024. Upon his arrest, he confessed to working with a Pakistani vendor who sold the stolen items and later fled the country. He also implicated a Kuwaiti woman and her daughter, accusing them of inciting and participating in the theft. The case highlights the importance of internal oversight in high-value sectors and reinforces Kuwait's commitment to prosecuting financial crimes and protecting commercial entities from internal fraud.
