Indian arrested for groping Syrian woman in Dubai shopping mall

Dubai: An Indian has landed behind bars after he was charged with sexually abusing a Syrian woman in a Dubai shopping mall today.

According to reports, the 35-year-old victim has testified before a court that she was in Dragon Mart in August when the 33-year-old man followed her before touching her inappropriately, New18 reports.

“I was buying some toys with my children when I saw the defendant. He kept staring at me in a way that scared me. He stood behind me… then touched my backside,” she said.

The woman is reported to have raised an alarm which attracted other shoppers’ attention who gathered around before the police arrested him.

Dubai Public Prosecution charged the defendant with sexually abusing the victim, it said. The trial has been adjourned until next month.
