A juice maker allegedly groped a maid in the lift of her employer’s building, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

JB, 32, Sri Lankan, testified that her employer had asked her to buy some groceries from a nearby shop.

“I went down the lift and entered the grocery. When I returned to the building, I saw a man entering into a lift. So I got into the other lift which had also reached the ground floor. Though I pressed the second floor button, the lift stopped at the first floor.

“Suddenly, the same man got into the lift and after the door closed, he kissed me and groped my private parts. I shouted at him and for help but nobody heard me. When the lift stopped at the second floor, I rushed out towards my employer’s flat. I told what happened to my employer who notified the police,” testified the victim.

Police arrested MI, 26, Indian, a worker in a cafeteria in the same building and he admitted to his offence.

The Court will give its sentence on January 19.
