Kuwait nurse’s recruitment scam accused Uthup Varghese arrested

Uthup Varghese, the main accused in the nursing recruitment case, was arrested by the CBI on Wednesday morning from the Kochin airport in Kerala.

Uthup was arrested at about 3.30 am when he landed at the Nedumbassery airport from Abudhabi in Etihad Airways. Uthup Varghese will be produced before the CBI court in Ernakulam. Police are interrogating him.

Several nurses were recruited by his firm Al Zarafa Travels to get jobs at hospitals run by the Kuwait government. He had cheated several of them by demanding excess service charge and was allegedly involved in Rs 400 cr nurses recruitment racket.

According to the case filed by the CBI, he had amassed nearly Rs 300 crore recruiting nurses this way.

Earlier, Income Tax Department had seized Rs 3 crore unaccounted money from his agency's offices in Bengaluru and Kochi.

The CBI had served notices on him for appearing before the agency for interrogation. Since he had refused to oblige, the agency issued a lookout notice and also figured in the Interpol list.

i think he will be welcomed with grandeur wherever he goes, since he has created an empire and the comrades are all over Kuwait now, no other states or India or any other country stand a chance before our so called good doctors and nurses.

Anything gained illegally cannot be legitimised. You can borrow and get

job . Think what would have happened if you lose the money and dont get

the job and those who cannot afford.

As the nurses pointed about, he is not a cheater, but helped them.But Politicians are Cheaters. One Kerala Minister lost his position by Cheating a Kuwait NRI in the land dealing.Who is there to help nurses to find out a job abroad? Government and Government agencies are much more corrupted to get any job done. Take the case of Houses for Psunami affected families. Even after three govenments ruling Kerala, nobody got the houses. But Private agencies have given them houses long back. Government is highly corrupted rather than Mr. Uthup. He has provided jobs for thousands of nurses in Gulf. God Bless him and his family. Finally Goverment wants Emigration clearance required for Nurses as they are treated as illiterate having no education. " Emigration Clearance Not Required" for metric passed people having no nursing qualification. This is what our government or Politicians did for nurses. I appreciate one MP who has fought for their salary in India, which is an exception. God bless him on behalf of nursing community.

Dear All,

I believe that those who are in favor of Justice never supports these type of things. Corruption is corruption either in India or Kuwait. May be some of them are possessing the genuine certificates but most of them are fake & the way chosen to get the government job in Kuwait is wrong. The people who got the jobs are really worthy then they shouldn't be paid to get a job. Whoever got the job in these scam are mostly below 25 years old. What basis they got the nurse job. I have personal experience that most of the senior nurses in all reputed hospitals are worthless they can't inject a needle and peel the blood at first attempt & claiming we Keralites are well educated & graduates. The people who can't pronounce simple words in English are well educated. The bullshit thing in gulf is nothing Malayali. Gulf Means Malayalies - Malayali means the people who migrate to Gulf with their wives, sisters, parents with intention of only money and free treatment like bypass surgeries & major operations by paying 1 to 10 KD.

Here those who supports and promote the act of Uthup Varghese are the bhakths of Corruption and promoting themselves as good as Uthup Varghese.

well.. its shameful to see some people supporting the malpractice.. just because some of you are benefited doesnt make a crime legal..
osama bin laden and isis leader abu bakr al bagdadi are helping his team with their needs.. but does that make them good humans?
he was charging a huge amount to get people here.. many are forced to sell their properties to get here.. and because of these kind of imbeciles, now kuwait nursing recruitment and many other companies are nuthing but a money making channel.. there isnt a thing called empathy or humanity in these businesses..
now a question to all those claims to hav benefited from these kinda of organisations, if you are qualified for the job, y do u need to pay such a huge bribe on the first place..?
The answer is that you people, knowingly or unknowingly were stealing the jobs which were meant for qualified people who tried thru genuine channels with the help of these criminals.. and those genuine qualified candidates are still struggling to get a job because u took their job opportunity by bribe.. and so indirectly.. you were promoting this scam by supporting and funding them..
shame on you all !!

@Leslie
Do you see it as a "good service"?!
Whoever got jobs thru him, must have paid a huge amount (up to 20 Lakh per person), we Indians, especially Keralites are the one who mainly introduced these much bribes, even among Arabs. Since they started to get money, now in every each paper-works in Ministry related to nursing recruitment needs to pay waajid fulooos..

In fact he and his firm helped many nurses who came here. May be Corruprt bureau of India (CBI) didn't get their share .

in another way its a self surrender. This Guy skimmed all the money and now his money is outside india and no one can touch it.

Also I think all the nurses who paid these hefty bribes should be arrested first.

Now, will CBI look-out for those who got involved with him, especially the nurses who were recruited by him? Will they be blacklisted?
