Woman wanted Indian driver, got Egyptian, got raped

An ill Kuwaiti widow who wanted to shuttle between her house and the hospital went to a taxi company and asked them to assign her an Indian driver. Instead, they sent her an Egyptian, who raped her at gun point for four hours.

The woman, suffering from Atherosclerosis (artery disease), recounted her ordeal with the driver, who was arrested but could be released for lack of evidence. She said the man raped her late night and left her in a deserted area after she refused to voluntarily have sex with him.

“I had gone to that company and asked for an Indian driver but they sent me an Egyptian one…when I protested, they said that was the only one available,” the unnamed woman told the Kuwaiti Al Rai newspaper.

“I had no choice because that company is the cheapest in town…one night, the Egyptian driver took me to hospital and then returned to take me back home…it was after midnight and he started to press me to have sex with him.”
