DUBAI: In the UAE, a Gulf country that has banned begging, a beggar was caught with a huge sum of money. The police seized three lakh dirhams from the beggar. He was arrested when the police conducted a wide-scale search to prevent begging in the city before the month of Ramadan. But the police has not released more information about the beggar.
In a press conference, Dubai Police informed that beggars use various methods to gain people's sympathy. The police also appealed to avoid showing sympathy to beggars who are trying to make quick money through easy means. In order to crack down on such people, Dubai Police has also requested to report any begging activities immediately. A few days ago, a woman who was driving a car and begging for alms was also arrested in Dubai. They used to beg in front of the places of worship.
