As per the report of the victim, a female friend brought her from her hometown to work for a family in the city of Dubai to help them with routine housework and take care of their mother, who was blind.

Her friend, who is the accused, covered all her travel expenses, even including the visa expenses.

The victim told the police officers that the accused friend, along with another person, came to receive her at the airport and took her to an important where several other women were also staying.

The victim then went into utter shock when her friend told her that she had brought her here for the purpose of prostitution and even threatened her to assault her if she refused to do so.

The accused friend continued to threaten her to beat her up with a group of men if she resisted in doing this work.

The victim disclosed during the investigation that she somehow managed to escape as she was being taken to another Emirate, where she asked a passerby for help and to take her to the nearest police station.
