KATHMANDU, FEB 06 -
A Nepali woman security guard was kidnapped and gang-raped in Fajairah of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Feb. 1, according to media reports.
Khaleej Times, a UAE-based newspaper, reported on Saturday that police have arrested three men in connection with the abduction and gang rape.
The victim is a security guard at the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank in Fajairah. Her employer informed police as she did not report for duty.
An Emirati public relations executive at the bank told police that the guard was believed to have been kidnapped as a man received the bank’s call on her mobile phone, posed himself as a cop, and told him to pay ransom for the release of the woman as she had been held for violating the residency law. Her name was not disclosed.
On the instructions of police, the executive reached an agreement with the unknown captor to hand over the money at a certain spot.
Police arrested a 24-year-old Emirati as was receiving the cash from an undercover agent.
During interrogation, he conceded that he and two others abducted the woman and gang-raped her. Police later rescued the captive and arrested the other culprits. The three have been referred to prosecution. The victim was sent to a hospital for medical checkup.
