Kerala Nurses Face Cases for Unpaid Loans from Kuwait Bank
Thirteen nurses from Kerala are in trouble for not paying back loans they took from a Kuwaiti bank.
The loans, totaling over 10 crore rupees, were taken between 2019 and 2021 while the nurses worked in Kuwait.
After leaving their jobs and returning to Kerala, they moved to other countries without repaying the money.
The bank has reported this, and the police are now investigating the case in Kerala.
Each nurse owes between 61 and 91 lakh rupees.
Another bank, Gulf Bank, had also reported a similar issue in December 2024.

The total amount of the defaulted loans is Rs 10.33 crore.
Individual loan amounts range from Rs 61 lakh to Rs 91 lakh.
