Dubai Criminal Court on Sunday heard the case of three Bangladeshis who allegedly confined an Asian woman illegally who later jumped down from the third floor in Nayef Street in Dubai in July in an attempt to escape her rapists.

MA, 40, watchman; MS, 44 and MT, 38, are accused of running a prostitution den, MS, and MT are accused of having consensual sex with another prostitute, who is still at large.

MS had rented the flat and asked MA to find a tenant. MA introduced MT.

The court heard that MT brought along with him a woman who sought a place to rent. However, on July 13, they had a fight and the woman allegedly fell from the third floor.

MT claimed that he received a call from the watchman informing him that the woman had fallen down. “I rushed to the building and saw the woman on the street. I picked her up to the flat with the help of some pedestrians. We tried to rescue her but we failed. I asked the other women in the flat to run away. I locked the flat’s door and fled to Oman,” he testified in court.

Meanwhile, MA called MS claiming that the sub-tenant had been absent since two months. Then MA, MS along with a carpenter broke the lock.

The carpenter claimed in court that he was shocked to see a dead woman in one of the rooms.

MA locked the door and got out of the flat, and MS informed police.

Autopsy revealed that the woman died from impact of fall and was also raped.

Dubai Police in co-operation with Omani Police arrested MT.

MS’s mobile phone records reveal he had called MT 58 times in one month.

Dubai Prosecution accused the three men of confining a woman illegally and forcing her into prostitution and causing her death. Meanwhile, MT and MS are also accused of having consensual sex with women.

The court adjourned to December 8.
