- Sharjah Misdemeanour Court ordered surveillance footage to be examined in a case involving a workshop fire.
- The suspect denied causing the blaze and said he was absent when it started, while a forensic report attributed it to heat from an electrical generator.
Sharjah Misdemeanour Court has ordered a review of surveillance-camera footage in a case involving a fire that began at a workshop and spread to a neighbouring company.
An Asian national faces charges of accidentally causing the blaze at his workshop, which was completely burned. The fire also damaged several vehicles parked nearby.
A forensic laboratory report said heat from an electrical generator in the workshop caused the fire. The suspect denied the charges, saying the blaze broke out at 2 a.m. when he was not at the site.
The court postponed the case to examine the CCTV footage and allow the suspect to submit a defence memorandum.
