The Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance sentenced two Pakistani workers to six months in prison for confining a co-worker, molesting him and video recording him naked.

The court also ordered IA, 29, and ZA, 26, to be deported after serving their jail term.

While FA, the 27-year-old victim, was in the Dubai Municipality accommodation in Muhaisnah, on October 3 at around 8am, he got a phone call from IA. The latter asked him to come to Block No. 19 of the same accommodation to drop him by car to a clinic for a medical test.

“When I reached to his room, he asked me to get in. After I entered the room he locked the door, removed the key and put it in his pocket. In less than a minute, someone opened the door from outside and got in. It was ZA.

“IA asked me to take off my dress and but I refused. The two beat me up and controlled me by putting a blanket on my face. ZA pulled down my lower dress and video recorded me completely naked on his mobile phone,” the victim told investigators.

FA resisted the two and threatened to inform the police. They in return threatened him with sending the recording to people in Dubai and Pakistani if he complained against them.

The victim promised not to complain but as soon as they allowed him to leave the room, he called the police.

Police rushed to the scene, arrested IA and ZA and confiscated the mobile phone.

Policeman Mohammed Ali testified that the victim’s shirt was torn and that he looked tired and was sweating.

When questioned, IA and ZA admitted to pulling down the victim’s dress and recording him naked. They claimed it was a joke.

The victim told investigators that they did it because of previous disputes between him and them.
