Dubai:
A court in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has upheld a jail term awarded to a 37-year-old Indian man for molesting a Sri Lankan woman earlier this year.
The Dubai court of appeal upheld the six-month jail term for the Indian worker followed by deportation from the UAE for the incident that took place on February 1, the Khaleej Times reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, the accused had barged into a villa in the Al Mamzar area of Dubai and molested the Sri Lankan, who worked as a domestic help there.
The prosecution said that the woman had opened the door after the accused had knocked on the door of the villa.
He then asked her about her employer, who was not present at that time, and then barged in and hugged and groped her.
The verdict can be appealed again within 30 days in the court of cassation.
