The victim stated that he received a phone call from an Asian woman requesting him to deliver stuff to someone in her home country and when he arrived in the building, the woman asked him to come to her apartment and as soon as he entered, a man hit him with a wooden stick on the head, while another shocked him with a stun gun.
Three people took him in their vehicle to a desert area and asked him to sign a bank cheque or hand AED 120,000 in cash over to them; otherwise they would kill him.
