KUWAIT: An Indian
man committed suicide by hanging inside his sponsor's ranch, according to
preliminary investigations. The coroner recovered the body. The incident was
reported by the sponsor, who was surprised by seeing the guard hanging from the
ceiling of a makeshift room, so he called the authorities. Further
investigations are ongoing.

Workers
'terminated'

Two workers at
the subsidized rations branch of a co-op were found weighing the luggage of Asian
nationals planning to travel to make sure about their weight before arriving at
the airport. The commerce and industry ministry asked the co-op to take action
in response to a video clip a Kuwaiti man posted online. The two workers were
questioned by co-op officials and they admitted to weighing the baggage in
exchange of money. The contracts of the two workers were terminated.

Cop assaulted

A lieutenant
colonel was beaten while trying to break up a fight between a Kuwaiti and five
others in Sharq. The lieutenant colonel, who is also an investigator, saw five
men fighting against one, so he tried to break the fight up, but received some
blows. He called backup and the fight was finally broken. Investigations are
ongoing.

Neighbors fight

An Egyptian woman
found undergarments in front of her door, so she argued with her
"bachelor" neighbor and accused him of threatening to kill her, while
he accused her of insulting him. A police source said the woman was angry when
she saw the undergarments and blamed her neighbor for trying to embarrass her
in front of others, and an argument ensued. The woman then went to the police
station and complained. The case is being investigated. - Translated by Kuwait
