(21 February 2011, DUBAI)--An electrician stood in the dock on Sunday accused of kidnapping a maid and trying to rape her.
The 23-year-old Pakistani man’s trial began in the Court of First Instance presided by Judge Al Saeed Bargouth.He faces charges of kidnap and molestation. The woman, a 28-year-old Ethiopian housemaid, told the investigating prosecutor that she was waiting for a cab in Motor City in Jebel Ali in the afternoon of December 11 last year.
She wanted to go to Mall of the Emirates. A car driven by the defendant stopped for her and he offered to drop her to the mall for Dh20. She stepped in and shortly later she noticed that he was taking a wrong route. She asked him where he was going and he told her he was looking for another road.
He ignored her requests of being dropped on the spot. As he began to touch her thighs, she freaked out. She asked him again to be allowed to step off but he ignored her request. She asked him to give her his mobile phone and the defendant allegedly dared her to call the police. She called to her own number on the pretext of calling the police.
However, she managed to take advantage that the car was moving slowly and jumped out. She took a cab and headed to her accommodation. Her sponsor informed the police about the incident. A Yemeni police officer said that they lured the defendant to come to the police station the following day. When quizzed, the accused denied having molested the maid.
He alleged that she suddenly stepped in his car in Jebel Ali and jumped out shortly later. According to the medical report of Rashid Hospital, the maid sustained head and body injuries due to her jump off the car.
