Dubai: A mechanic who molested his six-year-old sister in a car while dropping her to school went on trial on Tuesday.
"She is my sister... and there is no way on earth I would have done anything bad to her," the 20-year-old Pakistani mechanic, T.A., told the Dubai Court of First Instance.
The Public Prosecution charged him with undressing the 6-year-old schoolgirl and molesting her.
A 28-year-old Emirati witness saw the girl pulling up her jeans inside the car a few seconds following the alleged incident.
