“She had got into his taxi with another friend near Burjuman around 7.30pm on January 4, Just then, they saw their other friends in another car and decided to join them. They immediately left the taxi and Rose didn’t realise that she left her wallet behind.” Racheal’s mother told media.
“She was in tears, she rushed to the police station to report the matter.” She added.
However, according to her mother, It was difficult to trace the cab driver, since the number was not clear in CCTV and it was also difficult to trace the cab with RTA, as the meter was not started.
Khadim, on the other hand tried to trace her through her Emirates number, but the company’s non-disclosure policy came in his way.
Khadim, while talking about the whole incident said, “Finally, the RTA call Centre called me back when I was finishing my duty at 3.30am and verified the details that matched with their complaint. I was given their number following which I went to their house to drop the wallet.
Modassar Khadim, who is the only brother of three sisters back home was offered Dh600 by Rachel’s father, which he refused to accept.
