A Dubai court has cancelled an Indian driver's bail plea and ordered his arrest because he was spotted laughing while denying the charge of groping a woman.

The driver, referred to as N V, was accused of molesting an 18-year-old Egyptian housemaid while helping her move items to her employer's car.

N V, however, maintained that he didn't molest her and that his hand accidentally touched her butt.

According to local media reports, the suspect moved his hands in an exclamatory sign and continued laughing before pleading not guilty.

While presiding Judge Abdul Jawad asked the suspect if there was any connection between him and the claimant, N V said there was no connection between them.

"Four workers and I were going in the lift. Three went out at the ground floor level and the suspect escorted me to the underground parking," said the complainant.

"N V groped my buttocks, hugged and tried to kiss me while I was putting two bags in the trunk. I pushed him and ran to the elevator. He took one lift and I used the other. I cried and told my employer what happened," said the Egyptian woman.
