New Delhi [India]: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) rescued an Indian national who has been charged with killing his employer and his wife in Kuwait for allegedly withholding his passport and making him undergo circumcision surgery against his religious belief.

It was alleged that the victims were withholding the accused’s passport to stop him from leaving them and forced him to undergo circumcision against his religious belief.

According to an FIR, in 2012, the wanted person Santosh Kumar Rama allegedly killed Kuwait Nationals Fahad Ben Nasser Ibrahim and his wife Salama Faraj Salem, for whom he worked as a servant.

As per the charges, the victim kept the blamed person’s passport to prevent him from leaving them and pushed him to undergo circumcision surgery against his religious belief.

After the murder, he allegedly recovered his passport by deliberately destroying the safe owned by the victims, read the FIR.

The case was registered on a contact from the Ministry of External Affairs in December 2016, following a request from the authorities in Kuwait to deport the accused, Santosh Kumar Rana.

The External Affairs ministry received a request from the Kuwait government via their embassy in Delhi for the extradition of Santosh Kumar Rama for the alleged offence of murder, for which he has been punished to death by the State of Kuwait Court of First Instance Felonies in a judgement given in absentia on February 29, 2012.

It further mentioned the alleged act of murder is an offence inviting punishment of more than one year’s imprisonment in both India and Kuwait, thus making it an extraditable crime as per the Treaty.
