The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has booked an Indian national accused of killing his employer and his wife in Kuwait. The victims had allegedly withheld his passport to prevent him from leaving them.
The case has been registered on a reference from the Ministry of External Affairs in December 2016, following a request from the authorities in Kuwait to extradite the accused, Santosh Kumar Rana.
The accused has been sentenced to death by the State of Kuwait Court of First Instance Felonies in a judgment given in absentia on February 29, 2012. It is alleged that he murdered Fahad Ben Nasser Ibrahim and his wife Salama Faraj Salem, for whom he worked as a servant.
