Hard to believe: Rapes on Emirates Airlines

Be careful and don't follow strangers on plane, if they need help, ask them to approach the stewardess. I really find it hard to believe such incidents can happen in the plane.

But nothing is impossible nowadays. So for any of you or your spouse who is traveling alone, just take note of this.

Actually there are a lot of Saudi rape and abuse cases reported in newspapers. Their govt. will protect their own citizens and usually turn a blind eye towards the victims (foreigners) or even jail them for supposedly making false accusations. The most horrific incident has recently occurred on an Emirates Airlines and the culprits have gotten away with it. The worst thing about this case is that this is the 4th case to have happened on this airline.

During
the Christmas of 2005, Emirates Airline made it's regular flight from Dubai to Manila . However, 4 hours into the flight, most passengers were sleeping or dozing off. A man approached a lady who was alone and asked her to assist his child in the bathroom. Not thinking much the lady followed the gentleman to the rear of the plane.

Immediately she was grabbed by the man's 3 accomplices who immediately gagged and taped her mouth and then went on to rape her in the back area of the craft while 2 kept watch, 2 others molested and raped her.

After they had all had their turn, they forced her to drink a drug- laced drink and escorted her to her seat. She had been knocked off until she arrived in Manila by which time the 4 men had disembarked and gotten away.

This is a repeat case of the same thing that happened on a flight from Dubai to Mumbai on an Emirates Airlines. The Emirates staff are aware of this, but when the staff have some suspicion of some incident taking place they make it a point to avoid going to the back of the plane.

However, the worst case of a rape victim on an Emirates flight was on a flight from Bangkok to Dubai . The lady was not only raped on flight but she was taken thru immigration into Dubai and raped for several days and then later on sold to the underground.

Please pass this on to all females who travel alone.

Duty Free Employees Scam Passengers

I got this from my former officemate...


This is not a scam, apparently it is in an online news, a British couple
is seeking legal actions for falling victims to this scam.


Bangkok Int'l Airport Scam

Unbelievable, but please be aware..... All those who travel a lot, please be very, very careful. Read ahead...


An Indian was detained in Bangkok for stealing a box of cigarettes in a duty-free shop in Bangkok International Airport. He had paid for chocolates and a carton of cigarettes. The cashier put a packet of cigarettes extra into his bag and he thought it was a free pack. He was arrested for shop-lifting and the Thai Police extortion price was 30,000 Baht for his release.

  • He spent two nights in jail and paid 500 Baht for an air-conditioned cell, 200-300 baht for each visitor, and 11,000 baht for his final release.
  • The Police shared the money in front of his eyes.
  • On top of that, he was charged in court and fined 2,000 baht by the magistrate and handcuffed and escorted to his plane.
  • His passport was stamped "Thief".
  • While there, his relatives requested help from the Indian Embassy and was told that they are helpless.

Many Asians are victimised similarly daily and letters and phone-calls to the Thai authorities are ignored.

  • He shared a cell with a Singaporean the first night who paid 60,000 baht for his release.
  • The second night was a Malaysian national who paid 70,000 baht.
  • Mind you this was not in a shanty shop in downtown Bangkok but in a duty free shop at the Bangkok Int'l Airport .

BE WARNED.

The above 100% correct information because Mr.Rajan Khera's customer from India faced
exactly the same scenario mentioned above when he was in transit at Bangkok Int'l Airport coming to Taipei.

Someone who went through the same ordeal in Dubai.
He bought stuff at the Duty Free upon entering.
The girl at Duty Free put a bottle of cologne in his shopping bag (he did not even see it happen).
He was arrested for stealing ( this is before he even picked up his luggage ). He sat at the airport jail
(where he was harassed for the whole day. (NO FOOD, NO WATER) for one day and only after he paid a fine (bribe ? of US 500..). That is all the cash he had in his pocket at the time. They let him go. These are scams that are happening all over the place.

Please BE CAREFUL! All of this is pre-planned and the people who work at the airport know who to target.

Unbelievable but apply caution .... the duty free employees intentionally put extra items to scam the passengers...
