Dubai: The Dubai Court of First Instance has cleared three Indian suspects of molesting a four-year-old Indian schoolgirl on board a school bus.
Senior prosecutors told Gulf News that they will appeal the verdict soon after they study the judgement sheet.
Suspects are expected to be released soon, unless prosecutors request they remain in detention in their appeal plea.
Earlier, based on statements by Dubai Police's forensic doctor, prosecutors had charged the three Indian men with molesting the girl and touching her private parts. The three had denied their accusations.
According to prosecution records, the doctor testified that the girl's private parts may have been touched but ruled out the possibility of rape.
