Brotherly love proves dear: A youth posing as his brother who is wanted by police surrendered to Jahra police officers, thinking he would be jailed for a short term. However, he was shocked to realize he will be jailed for 10 years instead of 21 days, reports Al-Watan Arabic daily.
A police source said the youth was hysterical and admitted he wasn’t the wanted person, and police referred him to the Criminal Evidences Department, where investigations showed he was no criminal. A case has been registered against him for impersonation.
