A Pakistani man was sentenced to six months in jail in Dubai for sexually abusing a minor Indian girl, a media report said on Tuesday. The court also ordered his deportation.
The man, a site supervisor, was found guilty by the Court of First Instance of groping the eight-year-old girl and threatening to kill her if she informed anyone, the Khaleej Times reported.
The incident took place on August 29.
Earlier, the man pleaded not guilty to the charges of molestation and making criminal threats. But the court convicted him. The Pakistani might appeal against the ruling.
