Unfortunately, due to a corrupt system and egomaniacal leaders, he became a scapegoat and victim of extortion, he was threatened with police torture, and eventually found himself under house arrest in Dubai with no passport. Using the skills he had developed as a spy for the counter espionage service, he escaped in 2008 in dinghy and sailed to India.
