Dubai: A Pakistani man, who allegedly
threatened an Indian couple and sent them abusive text
messages, stood trial in a Dubai court, local media reports
said.
The 29-year-old Pakistani postman, who claimed that he
had physical relationship with the woman, allegedly threatened
to kill the businesswoman in phone calls and text messages he
sent to both her and her husband.
He threatened to kill her if she did not resume her
"relations" with him, the Court of First Instance heard.
He faced charges of threat, libel and consuming liquor.
The woman, aged 29, told the prosecutor that she and her
husband filed the complaint in November last year.
They had known the defendant for about a year when they
worked together in the real estate field.
However, they had to break up with him as he used to get
drunk and call them and speak indecently.
They cut all their contacts with him and the woman was
also told not to answer his calls.
Angry at being ignored, the defendant began harassing
them and sent text messages in which he threatened to kill the
woman if they did not resume their past relationship with him.
He allegedly threatened to kill himself if the woman did
not treat him like before.
In a call, the defendant told the woman`s husband that he
was in love with her and that she belonged to him adding that
he would die if "he did not win her".
He also allegedly threatened her that he would tell her
husband that she had been taking abortion pills.
The husband confirmed the allegations made by his wife
and said that the defendant talked about having sexual
relationship with his wife in his messages to him.
The defendant admitted during interrogation that he was
intoxicated when he sent the abusive and threatening text
messages.
The defendant was arrested on November 30 last year.
