The Bangladeshi women, reportedly working as part-time housemaids, are currently fighting for their lives in the Intensive Care Unit of Al Kuwaiti Hospital. They have suffered fractures in various parts of their bodies.

According to an eyewitness from Bangladesh, the women were having a loud argument with some men who visited them that night.

“From their screaming I could understand they were trying to rape them. In five minutes I saw the women jumping out of the building and the men running away,” said the eyewitness.

According to the police, the Bangladeshi women, aged 32 and 35, reportedly absconders, were living in a two-bedroom flat in Dana building, a four-storey apartment in Al Yarmook area.

A man who called the police, identified as Wadood, who was subletting the apartment to tenants, is in police custody and is being questioned.

The police are investigating the case and are waiting for the women to recover from their injuries.
