The Uzbek woman, who walked into the Dubai Public Prosecution premises accompanied by her child, claiming she was carrying an explosive belt, has confirmed to Dubai Police that she was married to an Emirati man, whom she deserted after he allegedly stole their marriage documents, when she became pregnant with his child.
The woman’s story goes back some years in the UAE and involves another emirate as well.
What started out as a love affair, went from bad to worse, according to the woman’s police statement and finally ended up with her taking a desperate measure.
Police sources told Emirates24|7 that the woman had approached authorities in another emirate when she was pregnant with his baby.
However, she was charged with adultery then because she could not provide proof of their wedding.
Now as further investigations continue, the child is allowed to stay with the woman.
Meanwhile, it has been proven that the belt she was wearing did not carry explosives and she resorted to such an act in desperation to get the man own up to his responsibility.
A specialised team discovered that the belt was made of cardboard rolls connected with cables and a remote control- like device.
