Bukhari Syed Rameez Abbas, a 36-year-old Pakistani national, was fined $30 for smoking cannabis in the toilet of a Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Harare, reports MaraviPost. The smoke alarm went off last Tuesday at around 6pm as the plane approached the Zimbabwean capital.
A crew member reported a strong smell of smoke in the toilet and saw Abbas leaving it. He initially returned to his seat when challenged, but later admitted to smoking after another crew member confronted him. That crew member alerted the authorities; on landing at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, Abbas was handed over to immigration officials.
