Saudi Arabia’s feared religious police arrested a Pakistani mobile phone dealer after kissing a girl in a public place in the conservative Gulf Kingdom.

Members of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice had watched the man as he drove through the streets of the western town of Taif with two girls, Sabq Arabic language daily said.

“They were told that he kissed one girl at a traffic signal….they deployed a large force and waited for him to reach his shop before swooping on his car and arresting him and the two girls,” the paper said.
