"The accused used to drop the absconded housemaids from the place where they stay to the place where they work every day," he said.
Lieutenant Colonel Salem said they received a tip-off that he was employing absconded housemaids. "He was arrested red-handed with the absconded housemaids, whom he used to find jobs for in return for Dh500 from each one of them," he said.
