Dubai, December 27: A manager faces four years in jail for raping and assaulting a girl whom he had met in a social networking chatroom. He has also been charged with stealing her belongings.

The Dubai Court of First Instance sentenced the 34-year-old Jordanian manager, A.A., to three years in jail for having sex with the 26-year-old Kazakh girl, E.A., and assaulting her. He was also jailed for one year for stealing her belongings.

Presiding Judge Hamad Abdul Latif Abdul Jawad, who pronounced yesterday's verdict, also charged A.A. with kidnapping the girl. "He will be deported after serving his punishment," the judge said in courtroom seven.

The 26-year-old plaintiff said the accused had pointed a sharp tool at her back, and forced her into the apartment where he beat and raped her. Then, he absconded with her belongings.

During questioning by prosecution lawyers, A.A. countered the girl's allegations and claimed she had offered to have consensual sex with him for $500 (around Dh1,900). He claimed to have beat her because she bit his chest and tongue during intercourse.

Prosecutors said A.A. had pointed a sharp tool at E.A.'s back, forced her into her Al Barsha apartment and raped her thrice. He was charged with injuring E.A. and causing her two per cent permanent disability.

A.A. was sentenced in absentia.

List of stolen items

According to the arraignment sheet, A.A. beat E.A. and whipped her with a cable. He stole her sunglasses, iPhone, laptop, massage machine, hair dryer, mobile phone, internet modem and false eyelashes.

"I met him on one of the social networking sites… his style attracted me. I decided to hear his voice and sent him my mobile number. He picked me up and we went for dinner. We had alcohol. Around 3:30am, he asked to go to my flat… when I refused, his looks and tone changed completely. He forced me into my flat, undressed and raped me. Then, he threw me into the bath tub and opened the tap," E.A. said.

Records said the girl went to the balcony in her apartment and cried out for help. Due to the severe beating, the girl had to be rushed to a hospital after police broke into the flat and rescued her.

Police identified the suspect from his car plate number. It was caught on a surveillance camera at the parking lot of the restaurant where they had dined.

New Delhi, Jul 17: The first FIR against Volkswagen and Audi in India for installing cheat devices in their cars to misrepresent emissions has been filed in Noida.

The FIR was filed by Noida resident Aniljit Singh against the top officials of Volkswagen and Audi in India and their headquarters in Germany. These include Rahil Ansari, Brand Director, Audi India, Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head, Audi India, and Bram Schot, Chairman, Audi AG.

The FIR reviewed by media agency cites forgery, cheating and criminal conspiracy under various sections of the Indian Penal Code.

The complaint has cited the global emissions scandal where VW was found to be installing a cheat device in its cars, in the absence of which, the cars produced 10-40 times emissions beyond the permissible limits.

The complainant said that in 2018 he had purchased seven Audi cars worth crores of rupees. At the time of taking the delivery, the complainant said that he inquired if the cheat devices were installed in India and he was told by the company that they were not, as in India's emission norms were not as stringent and the country being a growing market for Audi, no such device was implanted.

The complaint said that the authorities in India observed that Audi cars' emissions for nitrogen oxide were 5-8 times the permissible limits and after the National Green Tribunal imposed a penalty of Rs 500 crore on VW, the complainant realised that he had been duped of his hard earned money.

He alleged that the accused persons had misrepresented the complainant by forging the documents and devices and caused wrongful gains to themselves and wrongful losses to the complainant. These officials had made wrong records to capture the market, with malafide intent and under a pre-planned conspiracy had induced and defrauded the complainant.

The accused persons are guilty of cheating the customers and have induced the complainant to part with hard earned money for sub-standard cars. The accused are also guilty of forging the documents on which they had sought various clearances.

The complainant has demanded that the allegations may be thoroughly investigated by a senior official.
