Dubai: In a recent operation against beggars, Dubai police have arrested a beggar who is begging through WhatsApp.
According to Dubai Police, they have arrested an Arab “cyber beggar” who used to get the numbers of local WhatsApp users and send them his sad story and ask for financial help “in the name of Allah”.
In a tweet, Dubai Police once again warned the public not to be fooled by beggars who tell painful stories because they are counterfeiters and their sole purpose is to fool ordinary people into making money. There is cramping.

The tweet also features “beggars using social media” who have been active in collecting Zakat, alms, and charity during the holy month of Ramadan and working in organized groups.
It should be noted that according to the law of the United Arab Emirates, in addition to severe punishment for beggars, beggars and those who recruit locals or non-natives for the purpose of begging, they are also being fined one hundred thousand dirhams. ۔
