His case was considered a milestone for #MeToo, in which women accused hundreds in entertainment, media, politics and other fields of sexual misconduct
Khan, who is a technical executive with a company here, checked with the Shaam hospital, which is right in the front of the beach, "but there was no help forthcoming". He resorted to social media platforms to see if someone could rescue the turtle, but again "there was no response".
Later, a RAK Municipality employee, who was apparently alerted by the RAK Police, rushed there. "He confirmed that the turtle was dead and took it away, probably to dispose of its body."
Khan said that there are many fishermen who set off into the sea in the early morning hours. "I presume the turtle might have got hit by one of those ships and got injured and pulled onto the shore."
One bystander said that the turtle could be really old. "She was possibly over 50 years old, and had lost her strength."
Khan averred that when he saw the injured turtle, he felt "a moral obligation to help out a living being, who could have survived".
