Dubai, May 17: A 46-year-old Indian worker has gone on trial here after he allegedly molested a 5-year-old girl, the media reported on Thursday.

According to the public prosecution records, the unidentified Indian man molested the Iranian girl while she was playing outside her house in Dubai's Al Barsha, the Khaleej Times reported. 

The girl's father told prosecutors said that she confirmed that "the worker had kissed her on the lips when she was with the neighbours' daughter near the parking lot". 

The accused is believed to have kissed and hugged the child on two different occasions. The victim's mother came to know about the incidents on March 8, the report said. 

The family then went to the police station to lodge a complaint. However, the man denied a molestation charge at the Court of First Instance.
