A Pakistani tourism manager allegedly confined in the company’s premises a visitor to the UAE to whom he had issued a visit visa and who had failed to leave the country or amend his status before his visa expired.

However, when the manager succeeded in locating the visitor in Al Aweer, he went and talked to him and the two agreed that the visitor should stay in the company’s premises a solution to the problem is found.

“We headed to the company where we talked. Then I left him in the company’s premises and locked the door,” the manager admitted.

When the manager went down at around 10.30pm, he told the building’s cleaner about locking up a man inside the company’s premises on the fourth floor.

“In the morning, I learnt from a worker in the building that a man had fallen from a window on the fourth floor. It seems he fell while trying to run away from the place,” testified the cleaner MIW.

The company’s messenger arrived first at the premises and saw a man bleeding on the roof of the first floor.
