A police patrol, which was touring Jumeirah on Thursday night, grew suspicious on seeing two Indians standing near a building under construction. One of them ran away as he saw the police and Avito was detained.

During interrogation, he told the police that his friend ran away because they had bottles of liquor. The police seized two cartons of bottles from the building and another four cartons from Avito’s room in Al Qouz Industrial Area.
