A domestic dispute over a missing mobile phone has escalated into a serious criminal case, with a man in his thirties accused of causing permanent injury to his domestic worker.
The High Criminal Court is examining allegations that the worker suffered a 7% permanent disability after sustaining a severe injury to her ear during an incident inside the defendant’s home on March 4, 2026. A forensic report confirmed the lasting damage.
The defendant has denied the charges, claiming the worker assaulted him and took his phone, prompting his reaction. His lawyer, Abdullah Sayyar, requested time to review the case file and sought his client’s release. The court, however, ordered the defendant to remain in custody and adjourned the case to May 4.
According to the worker’s testimony, the situation escalated quickly after she was questioned about the missing phone. She said she was pushed to the ground and assaulted, later discovering a severe injury to her ear. She told the court she saw a knife and part of her ear on the floor afterward, though she could not confirm how the injury was inflicted.
