Khaleej TimesHe will be deported after serving his jail term as per the order of the Court of First Instance, which gave the verdict on Sunday. The 28-year-old Pakistani cook pleaded not guilty claiming he only meant to film the view ahead of him.

A policeman told the investigating prosecutor that he was alerted by a woman passenger about the defendant’s behaviour when he was on duty at the Rashidiya Metro Station in June. The accused denied that he filmed women, but the man’s mobile phone showed the last clip was of the woman who had just complained about him.

He also found several clips of unaware female passengers in which the defendant zoomed in on particular parts of their body, with 16 clips on the phone.
