“After the defendant put the Botox on my face, I went to the consultation room based on his request to talk about plastic surgery. I was exhausted I was terrified of the Botox and a recent break-up with my friend. I was surprised when the defendant put both of his hand on my cheek and kissed me twice,” the victim said, according to official records.

She claimed that the 42-year-old Indian defendant tried to kiss her lips but she moved her head away and tried to leave the room. “He tried to calm me down and said I need to rest but he hugged and kissed me again,” she added.

Confession

The woman managed to escape the place and alerted Dubai Police. During interrogation, the defendant admitted of kissing the woman’s cheek after the Botox treatment.

Dubai Public Prosecution charged the defendant with sexually abusing the woman. The next hearing is scheduled for September 29.
