A gang that performs surgeries on fingertips to beat fingerprint scanners at the Kuwait airport and facilitates the re-entry of those who were deported was busted, Rachakonda Police said.
According to the police, the accused are Gajjalakondugari Naga Muneshwar Reddy (36), who works as a radiology and X-Ray technician and Sagabala Venkat Ramana (39), an anaesthesia technician. The other two accused are construction workers Bovilla Shiva Shankar Reddy (25) and Rendla Rama Krishna Reddy (38), who got the surgery done. All the accused are from YSR Kadapa district in Andhra Pradesh.
“Due to expiry of visa or for violating visa conditions, some people are deported from Kuwait. The accused used to perform fingertip surgeries on such people. They then gave them a new address and identity and got them visas to go to Kuwait again. We have busted this gang,” Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M Bhagwat said.
