The court adjourned the hearing until mid-July to assign a defence lawyer.
According to the prosecution records, the defendant, who is also accused of indulging in prostitution, deceived the alleged victim to come to the UAE with the promise to help her find a job. But she forced her under coercion, beating, and intimidation to have sex with men for money. She also took away the victim’s passport.
The alleged victim, aged 30, said during investigation that she was brought here with the help of the defendant’s relative. They allegedly had a deal that she would pay the defendant’s kin 250,000 Bangladeshi takas after she started working in the UAE.
She was promised a maid’s job on a monthly salary of Dh2,000.
However, since she got here in March, the defendant confined her to her room in a shared flat and beat her up to force her into prostitution.
She suffered a leg injury when she jumped out of the flat’s kitchen window and lost balance. A passerby called the police and the ambulance rushed her to a hospital.
A policeman said that they were informed about a woman’s fall from a building in Hor Al Anz. During investigation, they arrested the defendant from Al Karama.
Many visas and passports of Bangladeshi women were found in the defendant’s room. Contraceptive pills were also seized, among other things.
The defendant admitted during the Public Prosecution interrogation that she had indulged in prostitution.
The flat’s owner told the police that he rented out the room to the defendant under a sub-lease contract. The alleged victim told him that the defendant had beaten her up.
