Manama : In a bizarre act, a Bangladeshi man, who desperately wanted to return to his hometown after failing to find a job in the Kingdom, decided to commit a crime thinking that the police would arrest him and then deport him soon.
According to the case, the man reportedly hugged a woman when she got down from her car in Muharraq. He appeared before the High Criminal Court on Thursday, where he admitted to his crime. The incident occurred in front of the 33-year-old Gulf national woman’s two relatives, who were with her in the car.
“Financially, I was in dire straits. I couldn’t find a suitable job. I wanted to return to my homeland, but I didn’t have money to buy flight tickets. Realising my plight, my friends advised me to commit a crime, so police will arrest me and deport me,” the Bangladeshi man told prosecutors.
“I liked the idea. So I stood in a car parking lot in Muharraq. When I saw the woman alighting from her car, I went near and hugged her,” he added.
The defendant is facing sexual assault charge. He was ordered to be remanded for 15 days in police custody.
