Negombo Magistrate Sajindra Jayasuriya today banned the Kuwaiti couple, who allegedly assaulted Customs officials at the BIA on Friday, from leaving the country.

The Magistrate also ordered the couple to appear in the Court on August 10.

Five officials of the Customs Department, including a woman, were allegedly assaulted by the couple at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA), when they were requested to quarantine their pet dog.

They were later arrested and produced before the Negombo Magistrate Court by the Police. (Tony Karunanayake)

Imagine how they 'treat' our house-maids!

Al Kuwaiti Monday, 30 July 2018 04:36 PM

Please dont send your housemaids to Kuwait then.

Why are we in a desperate situation to send our ladies as domestic servants abroad?

Kingsley Wijesinhe Tuesday, 31 July 2018 09:12 AM

Because we're a heavily indebted country of beggars, T.J. Didn't you know that?

They should be treated as terrorist and prosecuted for carrying dangerous diseases.

Perera Monday, 30 July 2018 04:11 PM

Do not release them. Give them a hard time.

Ceylon: it is because of people like you who try to cover one wrong with another that our country will always be poor and undeveloped.

If I took a dog to their Muslim country, I would probably be exterminated. What hypocrisy by these self-portrayed arrogant nincompoops. All the money in the world will not salvage their money pumped false egos…..I feel for our innocent hard working people in those countries.

Its Kuwait a serious case.

Farook Monday, 30 July 2018 07:15 PM

Put them at welikada for at least 6 months for obstruction of duties including assault of those on duty. Damn bastards

That dog must be laughing

Obstructing public officials in the performance of their duties is a serious charge.By bringing a dog without quarantine is also a serious offence.

arabs treat sri lankans badly as they think sri lankans are inferior.

Ronnie Bugger Tuesday, 31 July 2018 08:58 AM

Tread lightly. What ever type of consulate of Kuwait there is in Sr Lanka is going to get involved diplomatically.

Daya Tuesday, 31 July 2018 09:07 AM

How a foreign national get courage to attack government officials? Is this because of the portrayal of maid workers inability to defend themselves treated as the general norm? Wonder the security arrangement of an international airport. How effective we are to neutralize the threat from outside?

These men and women think they can treat anybody - anywhere , the same way they treat their servants.. Poor servants, Once they return to Kuwait, they will take revenge on them.. I remember, once the Kuwaiti teachers had banned their students to even speak with a Sri lankan team of scouts during an international gathering. They think of everyone from Sri lanka as housemaids.. Fudgers ..

Iknow Wednesday, 01 August 2018 11:35 AM

But a video of the incident shows the Kuwaiti was beaten by number of immigration officials and are treated very badly. Can you imagine how a woman and man can attack five officers to be hospitalized? All drama of the people in the authority...

Mic Wednesday, 01 August 2018 07:13 PM

These officers should be given proper training to handle this type of situations. It is really appalling to see that big custom officer was attacking the foreigner girl. Visitors should not be attacked by responsible government officials in any circumstance even the visitors are violent. It is a management's responsibility to maintain proper customer service standards.

Dominic Wednesday, 01 August 2018 03:44 PM

This vide shows how the customs officers are mistreating the couple. I don't see any evidence that the couple has hit the customs officers.
