KUWAIT: A Kuwait National Guard officer was arrested with three liters of a liquid drug known as 'rape poison' and meth, said security sources. The sources explained that the suspect had been importing the liquid claiming it was a glass cleaning material, adding that he told detectives that he usually sold one milliliter of the liquid for KD 1. Detectives also arrested an associate who had been helping him in distributing the drug.

Well-informed sources told Al-Rai that the liquid drug known as 'gama drug' is very dangerous and known as 'rape poison', as users cannot remember anything that happens when under its effect. "That is why it is known as rape poison," the sources added, noting that it was banned in the US in 1991 before many other countries worldwide banned it. The sources added that the drugs control department was notified so that the drug could be listed on the banned drugs lists.

Case papers indicate that Mubarak Al-Kabeer criminal investigators had been tipped off concerning an Egyptian man selling and abusing drugs, who was later arrested with meth and a transparent liquid. The suspect confessed to purchasing the drug form an officer in the National Guard, who was also arrested. A case was filed.
