A gang of five expats in the UAE have been fined Dh28,000 (BD2,867) and sentenced to prison, followed by deportation for kidnapping, assaulting, and robbing a man of the same amount.
Reports revealed that the men attacked the victim as he was about to board his vehicle after withdrawing Dh28,000 from an ATM in Dubai.
The men, all of Asian descent, abducted the victim of the same nationality from the Al-Muhisnah area and transported him in their vehicle to Dubai-Al-Ain Street.
There they assaulted him and took the money from him before stabbing him several times and abandoning him.
The victim then sought help from a passerby to inform the police and an ambulance rushed him to the hospital for treatment.
The verdict handed out by the Dubai Court of Appeal upheld an earlier ruling by the Court of First Instance.
