One of his friends was traveling to UK via Dubai. Unfortunately he was carrying a packet of Khas Khas which is a commonly used spice in some Indian curries and sweets. Khas Khas is also known as poppy seed which can be sprouted to grow narcotics (afeem etc.). This innocent person did not know that recently the laws in UAE and other Gulf countries have been revised and carrying Khas Khas is punishable with minimum 20 years of imprisonment or even worse with death penalty. Currently, the person is in a jail in Dubai for the last two weeks. His friends are frantically trying hard for his release but are finding that this has become a very very serious case. Lawyers are asking huge fees amounting to AED 100,000 even to appear in the court to plead for his innocence. Please forward this email to all you know specially in India. They should know the seriousness of this matter and should never ever carry even minutest quantities of the following items when traveling to Gulf countries: 1. Khas Khas whether raw, roasted or cooked. 2. Paan 3. Beetle nut (supari and its products, e.g. Paan Parag etc.) The penalties are very severe and it could destroy the life of an innocent person. I appeal you to create the awareness by forwarding this email to all you know. Thanks and Best Regards   " Monitor alone uses more than half of computer's total power.
