Dubai: A 23-year-old Indian accused of sexually assaulting a British woman in Dubai was sentenced to three months in jail, the media reported on Thursday. According to the public prosecution records, the man attacked the 35-year-old woman when he went to deliver grocery at her home.
The Indian man pleaded not guilty to the charge in the Court of First Instance, the Khaleej Times reported.
