Indian arrested selling pornographic DVDs in the UAE

DUBAI: An Indian man was arrested by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) police and more than 5,200 pornographic CDs and DVDs were seized from him.

Mohammed Ali, 32, was arrested Wednesday following a tip-off by local residents in Ajman.

According to the police, Ali had been selling pornographic and other pirated CDs and DVDs for the past two months.

The police laid a trap to arrest the Indian. A police decoy took up a flat in one of the residential buildings where the accused often visited to sell the CDs. When the accused arrived at the flat on Wednesday, the police caught him red-handed. More than 5,200 pornographic CDs and DVDs were seized from his car, Khaleej Times reported.

During interrogation, Ali tried to evade responsibility, saying the CDs belonged to another person but he later confessed to the crime. He told the cops that he bought them from a company in Dubai to sell them in Sharjah and Ajman.
