Sharjah businessman abducted in Kerala, Dh500,000 demanded in ransom
A UAE-based businessman has been allegedly kidnapped from his hometown in the southern Indian state of Kerala, according to Malayalam media reports. The man, who runs a pharmacy chain in Sharjah, was reportedly abducted on Thursday night while he was on a short visit to the country. Malayalam media 24News reported that a WhatsApp call demanding ransom of more than half a million dirham was placed to the man's business partner on Wednesday morning. During the call, which came from the abductee's personal phone, the perpetrators also demanded that the police complaint registered by his wife be dropped. The man, who lives in the UAE with his family, was visiting India for 10 days and had landed in Kerala on August 4. CCTV footage of the incident shows a group of people waiting for the entrepreneur in a SUV and stopping him as he arrived in his motorcycle. He was then forcibly taken inside the vehicle before it sped off. Similarly, last month, a Dubai-based businessman was kidnapped in Bangalore by his ex-girlfriend and her associates for a ransom of more than Dh1 million. The man, who was held captive for seven days, managed to alert neighbors and was later rescued by local police. Four suspects were apprehended.

UN Puts Israel 'On Notice' Over Sexual Abuse of Detained Palestinians by Armed Forces
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has warned Israel it could land on the UN's blacklist of offenders accused of sexual violence in armed conflict. The warning, sent in a letter to Israel's UN ambassador Danny Danon, cites reports of abuse against Palestinian detainees in prisons, a detention centre, and a military base. Documented Abuse Allegations According to Guterres, UN monitors have documented patterns of abuse — including genital violence, prolonged forced nudity, and repeated degrading strip searches. He said these patterns raise 'significant concerns' and urged Israel to take immediate steps to stop all sexual violence and allow UN investigators access. Israel and Hamas Both Named Israel denies the allegations and access to UN monitors, calling the claims baseless. Danon said the UN should focus instead on the 'war crimes and sexual violence of Hamas.' Hamas has also been listed in the UN report for alleged sexual violence during the October 7, 2023 attacks and against hostages. Hamas officials rejected the claims. Wider UN Warnings The letter also revealed similar warnings issued to Russia over alleged sexual violence against Ukrainian prisoners of war in both official and unofficial detention facilities.

Dubai: 3 women arrested for performing illegal cosmetic procedures at apartment
The Dubai Police have arrested three women for illegally practicing medicine and carrying out cosmetic procedures without a licence in a residential apartment. Authorities said the operations posed serious risks to public safety and breached the UAE's laws. The Anti-Economic Crime Department made the arrests in cooperation with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). The police said they received a tip-off about suspicious activities at the apartment. After confirming the information, officers carried out a raid, seizing medical equipment and unlicensed medications. The suspects have been referred to the public prosecution for legal action. Officials warned that performing medical and cosmetic work in unlicensed locations endangers the health and safety of clients. Dubai Police urged residents to seek treatment only from licensed facilities, verify the credentials of service providers, and avoid offers that could put their lives at risk. The public was also encouraged to report illegal medical activities through the 'Police Eye' service or by calling 901. Dubai Police reaffirmed their commitment to fighting unlicensed medical practices and enhancing community safety.
