Probe against 1,425 Keralites, including 700 Nurses, for duping Kuwait Bank

Kerala police initiated a probe against 1,425 Keralites including 700 nurses who fled to other foreign countries after allegedly defrauding a Bank in Kuwait of approximately ₹700 crore.

According to Indian media reports, as many as 10 cases were registered on November 5 in this regard in the Kottayam and Ernakulam districts of Kerala state in India. This was after the senior officials of a Kuwait based Bank visited Kerala and lodged a complaint with the ADGP in charge of law and order, report added.

Preliminary information suggests that most of the accused are nurses, who were working in Kuwait Ministry of Health. They took loan amount between 35,000 KD to 45,000 KD (Approximately 90 lakh to 1.25 crore rupee) from the bank while they were working in Kuwait and later moved to other foreign countries such as the US, UK, and Canada without repaying the loan.

The bank has shared details of the defaulters including their Kerala address with the police, leading to the registration of the cases.

The bank cited Section 188 of the CrPC, which stipulates that if an 'Indian citizen commits a crime abroad, they should face the same legal action as if they were in India'.

I fail to understand why the Nurses did such an act when they are a privileged lot in this country among other professions. Their brains dont work when they ask for a Loan or what? Don''t they know it has to be repaid. They have put the nation to shame with such a behaviour unless they were not in their senses when applying for Loans. Because of such a few, the others are gonna be affected with stringent policies to certain Nationals in forthcoming days. Hope they all are booked and arrested, the same way as they fled to other countries. 😏🥱😯

Dear Viewers & Indians,

@Raj – Ok for the sake of debate I accept your words that they are getting less salary compared to their expenses that’s why are not in a position to repay the EMI isn’t. I can show you many people who clearly explaining to the bank as they got the job in other country and wish to migrate then banks accepted and given the option to pay the EMI by linking their new bank accounts from abroad itself.

Kerala in recession because nobody is investing, how and who wish to invest in a state where local politicians, NGOs and labor groups forces the entrepreneurs to accept their demands i.e. 75% of the labour should be from Kerala itself. The same rule is not applicable when entrepreneurs from Kerala goes to other states for establishing their businesses. What about the extortions coming from politician and local gangs.

@Robi It is indeed a shameful act and it affects the reputation of the entire nation. Am sure there are people from other states too, but majority are from Kerala and it is time one accepted this shameful fact. Malayalees are a trusted lot? Are you saying they never were?

As for your statement ''I saw a news in a whatsapp group that all this happened before covid for these nurses and many of them couldn''''t manage to come back to repay the loans here’. Those of us who were during Covid know that special flights were used to bring MOH staff who were stuck in India. When many (some lost their job) were not allowed to leave a few residential areas during Covid, MOH staff were allowed to do so. Loan default was happening even before Covid, so please stop justifying this heinous act so that such criminal activities are not normalized and even encouraged. MOH pays enough for them to repay this loan, and it is a privilege not given to many in Kuwait. They have squandered this privilege. It affects honest individuals working in MOH and elsewhere.

@Raymond George Yes, they used the money to purchase houses once they reached UK. What were they thinking? But you summed it up perfectly for us by your statement ; ‘Majority of them had and have intentions to repay the loan after reaching there but a few crooks who reached earlier advised the following ones not to...’
When you are asked to cheat and you cheat, you become a criminal too. It is as simple as that.

@Robi,
Sadik, Sheikh, Khanj and all the other loosers don’t get loans as they don’t even qualify for a credit card. So ignore them

Generalizing or stereotyping an entire group based on the actions of a few is both harmful and unjust. It is imperative that individuals are held accountable for their actions without attributing these actions to their entire country, state, or community.

Dear Robi.
1. What about the scenario when your own country man plays work politics against own country man?
2. What about the scenario when your own country man speaks malyalam language with your own countrymen in the presence of your own countrymen when he can speak English which is understandable by your own countrymen?
3. What about the scenario when your own country man present in HR refuses to appoint your own countrymen or offer the bare min. pay to your own country man?
So conveniently the countrymen change as per the situation????? Hmm

Dear Sadiq, Sheikh and whoever talking against people from KErala, ultimately getting a feel as if KErala is not part of India. I am also from this state Kerala but i consider myself as an Indian first and Kerala a state which is an integral part of India. Have some pride and sense dears of being an indian first also try to know the true facts why the poor nurses were not able to pay back their dues. Its 100% a fact that not all are criminal minded maybe a few might be there among the 1400 or so defaulters. IT''s a shame that being an indian you abuse and talk nonsense about your own countrymen. I personally know so many other nationalities who have taken loan and just elope to other countries why such cases are not coming out in the media. And again shame on you fellow indians trying to abuse your own nation people, your so foolish that your not thinking when abusing people from your country, your abusing the country itself. Atleast try to know the true facts as to what happened. I saw a news in a whatsapp group that all this happened before covid for these nurses and many of them couldn''t manage to come back to repay the loans here. So respectful fellow countrymen please respect your fellow countrymen and know the facts before reacting and hurtling abuses at a particular state people.

All anti-Keralites,
Loans are taken by the people from all the states, not only from Kerala. The percentage of cheating people from every state is same. This news is first released by the Kerala government and then other channels. The other crying states have no guts to release such news.

As Keralites are majority in govt sectors, they are highlighted. When Keralites started working abroad, these crying people were not applied for passport even. So the majority is due to the long period of time. Not by wastha only. Think before crying.

Jealousy has no boundaries . A chance to mock Keralites won’t be missed by some miserable souls.

The people who didn’t pay back loans are at fault for sure , but that does not mean all Keralites are like this. The Covid opened doors to Europe for Nurses which made them leave the country asap as they had to go through OET, IELTS and a long formality process . Majority of them had and have intentions to repay the loan after reaching there but a few crooks who reached earlier advised the following ones not to pay back as they can’t trace or recover it . People who were in the midst of a new culture shock and high expenses took their words for truth and stopped paying . They then focused on settling there by buying a house and invested the money for that. That’s the story of the majority cases.
A few were genuine cases where they couldn’t come back to Kuwait due to health of theirs and their loved ones
And definitely some of them ( crooks) who intentionally topped up the loan and left with no intention to pay back . The way some
Portray is as if all of them came together and planned this crime out. Have some sense before you say something . Even there are cases where people went to a bank to settle and was adviced to leave the country asap Indemnity would be auto settled .
So many scenarios but people classify them as the same .

My opinion is that many of these nurses move to other countries and they are getting less salary compared to there expenses not fulfill to repay loans. Some personnel took loan and investi real estate property or land and this time in kerala in recession no one investing money on it so that no one can sell those with less value totally its a loss this is the main reason and if they sell the money will be indian rupees not in nre status so those are in troubled water situation now so finally I learn from it banks don''t give more money as loan may give twice their basic only. This is a looting mentality of banks what jos saying is correct.

Firstly all problem belongs to gulf Bank why they give this much loan I hear they more than 18times of the basic salary of employees in private sector if it is got. Sector they more what they required . They should not ask what purpose this money used for here is the looting mentality of banks and not only keralitis many other countries and many other state personel also take loan and left. Other banks such as NBk, KFH,Burgan also giving may they will inform soon.

only Keralites are culprits. all other Indian groups are pure and clear. they don''t cheat, they don''t loot, and they never approach for vastha.

The reason is they got better chance to migrate to USA/UK/Canada/Australia after Covid. Once they settled down there with their earnings and expenses they were unable to pay back the EMI as they planned and there was a delay for the final settlement from Ministry. It could be a genuine reason for the delay of payment. i am sure that they are willing to pay back the dues and settle the loan but Bank must have to give some time and a mutual settlement amount.

Dear Kerala Govt., if you are serious about this issue than take strict action against these culprits and make sure that these people''s fixed assets should be seized and loan repayment to be fulfilled from these culprit''s assets. These criminals have ashamed all of us Indians in Kuwait. Our beloved Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking so many efforts to enhance India''s image in front of world, but these criminals undoing his good efforts.

because of this stupid peoples now they will make more hard rules to take loan.
I really appreciate to Kuwait banks. they giving loan us for our needs with less rules but if some people doing this type of Froud then bank will make more hard rules.

Dear Viewers & Indians,

I strongly believe that the Kuwait government surely will punish them with the cooperation of Kerala government. These Keralites always used the Gulf countries as their motherland and cheated the mother. They had been utilizing the facilities provided by the Gulf countries and always misused for their profits. They always represent themselves as Keralites or Malayalis not as an Indians.

I feel if the Kuwait & Gulf countries start the investigation properly about their conspiracies, scams & involvement in the wrongdoing then they will know how the looted the gulf countries, especially in the MOH, MOE & other government sectors. Keralite are 95% in the MOH itself and in other more than 75% occupation. Why most the of the schools, companies, retailers and other sectors are occupied by the Keralites. It seems to be a big mafia in the gulf regions. All the recruitment process and interviews are being conducted at Kerala only, why? Even if we start the verification of certificates then will find many culprits who are cheating and working on fake certificates.

Gulf countries should stop hiring the Keralites and go for some states of India and other countries, don''t depend upon one state or country, which is not good practice for any government and country.

You know their network start the working and occupy any company, I will explain. In any company by luck or mistake if any one Keralite comes he start and find a strong person who is having recruitment power through him he recruits his companions or friends then whole company will be Keralites. They never allow any others into the company if any future recruitment comes. Very first question if any jobseeker contact for any job "Malayaliyo" if you say "No" then interview or enquiry finished there itself.

They are very harmful for the whole humanity and the society.

What a SHAME to Keralites, Nammalla aalu!!! It''s a well planned strategy by Nurses who were migrated to foreign countries with duped Kuwaiti Banks money and provide education to children''s with this fraud money & enjoy life. Many Nurses & Keralites were invested money in land, real estate, gold, shares & Mutual funds for more profit by taking cheap Kuwaiti bank loans. Greed make people crazy & mad often... Indian Government/Judiciary must take strict action to seize their Indian properties.

I am a Keralite.

I request Kerala police to take strict action against the criminals who cheated the banks. Kerala police and Kerala Government must hold hand to hand to take serious initiative to arrest the cheaters and to hand over them to Kuwait Police.

They must be arrested at the country where ever they are or if they arrive at Indian ports at any time and to send them behind bars.

Hope Inspector General of Kerala Police Mr. Manoj Abraham, to whom this case has refered will take this case as very very serious and will do the needed.

Those criminals tarnished the face of Keralaites as whole.

No matter what job you have, in any country, a bank fraudster can get away with it or even if you do something wrong out of greed, a mistake is a mistake. Therefore, if the affected country or the affected person takes proper legal action, the offender will definitely lose his current job, be humiliated, and suffer great mental distress and loss. Therefore, the existing new and senior employees should consider this and be very careful, cautious, and honest with proper discipline. There is no need to fear anyone. God bless to us

This news doesn''t reflect the whole facts and is not appropriate to accuse in this way. It is true that there are some who individuals who actually took loan with an intention to cheat. But most of them couldn''t pay because of delay in receiving their end of service benefits. There are reports from people that it is taking several months in receiving the indemnity and other end of service benefits. If this problems solved majority of the loan could pay.

As I experienced, until recent years there were no liability clearance system in Kuwait while exit the country even . This scenario would have been misused by these Culprits . However this crime by a big number of people is utter shame for our Nation itself .
