KUWAIT CITY, July 31: In a shocking bust that has sent ripples across Kuwait's beauty industry, authorities have arrested an Egyptian national for posing as a plastic surgeon and carrying out illegal cosmetic procedures inside an unlicensed women's salon in Sabah Al-Salem.
The man, identified as Ahmed Atta Ahmed Ali, a veterinarian by profession working with an agricultural contracting company, was caught red-handed by the General Department of Criminal Investigations under the Hawally Governorate. According to officials, he had been impersonating a cosmetic surgeon and operating without any medical license in a salon illegally converted into a cosmetic clinic. Security forces raided the premises and arrested the suspect at the scene, where he confessed to injecting cosmetic fillers for KD 50 per session—despite having no official qualifications or license from medical authorities
During the operation, investigators seized a range of unauthorized medical and cosmetic equipment, including injections, unlicensed substances, a medical-grade laser device, and other tools typically used in certified clinics. Three women (two Egyptians and one Kenyan) were also apprehended for assisting in the unauthorized cosmetic treatments.
Further investigations revealed that the salon is owned by Sahar Hatem Muhammad Saadawi, a woman whose Kuwaiti citizenship was recently revoked but is currently treated as a Kuwaiti under Article 8. Authorities discovered she is allegedly operating a network of six unlicensed salons and women's health centers, posing a serious risk to public health.
The Ministry of Interior has confirmed that legal action is underway, and the case has been referred to the proper authorities for further proceedings.

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 3: In a major victory in the fight against drug trafficking, Kuwait's Ministry of Interior has dealt a significant blow to an international narcotics network operating from outside the country, seizing a large cache of illegal drugs destined for the local market. The operation, spearheaded by the Criminal Security Sector under the supervision of His Excellency Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef Al-Sabah, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, culminated in the arrest of two Indian nationals (Nadathara Kunjimaraka Kabir and Saik Hussein Muhammad) in the residential areas of Shuwaikh and Kaifan.
