Sharjah: A 35-year-old Filipina housemaid delivered twin girls in the bathroom of her employer’s house in Al Nouf area of Sharjah on Thursday morning, a Sharjah Police official told Gulf News.
It was learnt that the maid got pregnant following an affair with a Bangladeshi worker at a neighbouring house.
The housemaid used to prepare breakfast for her employer’s school-going children, but on Thursday the maid did not attend to her morning duties.
The Emirati family reported the incident to the police operations room after they found their housemaid lying in the bathroom of their adjacent house after delivering her babies. The family told police that they did not know who their maid’s partner was.
The housemaid and her twins were later rushed to Al Qasimi hospital and police arrested her suspected partner hours before he planned to flee the country.
The family said the maid joined them nearly a year ago and that they had not noticed that she was pregnant as she was fat.
An official at Al Qasimi hospital told Gulf News that the condition of the mother is stable and her twin daughters were in good health.
Sharjah police put the housemaid and her Bangladeshi partner under police guard for interrogation. Police investigation is under way.
