Authorities in Dubai have arrested a woman and man for allegedly beating up their maid.

The 47-year-old Asian maid was found unconscious in the Mirdif area after she had been beaten and burned on several parts of her body.

According to Lt Col Ahmed Humaid Al Marri, Director, Criminal Investigation Department at Dubai Police, police received a tipoff reporting that they had found a woman lying unconscious in the road.

Eight CID teams were formed to locate the sponsor, who they found after investigations, Al Marri said.

On being questioned, the sponsor denied the charges, but later confessed. Accordingly, she and her husband were arrested.

The maid had run away from the home due to the abuse.

CID teams rushed her to the ICU of a hospital. On being questioned she said, “Instead of a good life my sponsor burned and beat me. My sponsor accused me of failing to do my work,” the victim added.
