KUWAIT CITY, Oct 12: An expatriate has filed a complaint at the Al-Qashaniyyah Police Station, accusing a colleague of phone misuse that resulted in significant personal and professional harm, including the loss of his job. He also announced his intention to file a compensation lawsuit against the individual responsible for the incident.

According to case documents, the complainant, born in 1984, submitted a video transcript as evidence, showing him asleep during work hours. He alleged that his colleague, who is of the same nationality and born in 1983, secretly filmed him while he was resting on the job. The colleague then sent the footage to their immediate supervisor and later to the department head.

The situation escalated when the supervisor forwarded the same video back to the complainant, accompanied by an official termination letter citing negligence in the performance of his duties.

The expatriate denied being negligent, explaining that he was simply exhausted and momentarily fell asleep. He described the act of filming and circulating the video as a deliberate attempt to harm his reputation and career.

In a surprising twist, the complainant added that he had previously intervened on behalf of the very colleague who recorded and reported him, making the betrayal even more distressing.

Authorities have registered the case and initiated investigations into the complaint of phone misuse and defamation.
