According to official sources, the individuals had ventured to Kuwait two years prior for employment opportunities. Allegedly subjected to mistreatment by their recruiter, they made the decision to flee the country.

It’s worth noting that this event draws parallels to the infamous 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, where 10 Pakistani terrorists infiltrated the city via the sea route. These attacks resulted in the tragic loss of 166 lives and left over 300 individuals wounded.
