RAS AL KHAIMAH // An Indonesian maid fell pregnant after having an illegal affair with a Bangladeshi driver, the RAK Criminal Court heard.

U A told prosecutors that she was in a relationship with M L, whose age was not given in records. The driver would pick U A up from her sponsor’s house in the Kharran neighbourhood and take her to his residence in Al Fahlayn.

“Two years ago I got to know M L, and then an affair happened between us. He used to take me several times to his place,” said the maid.

M L denied being in a relationship with the maid.
