Nazia Khan, 25, and her nieces, ages 14, 10 and 4 remained locked out of the car for nearly two hours before attendants from a gas station were called to prise open the jammed doors with special tools.
“
The glue was all over the doors — inside the locks, along the hinges. It had hardened like steel and just wouldn’t come out
”
Nazia’s harrowing ordeal started moments after she stopped at the MacDonald’s outlet on Al Ittihad Road in Sharjah for a quick bite around 8pm. As she stepped out, she was accosted by a middle-aged beggar asking for money.
“He was limping. I had fallen for the leg wound infection ruse earlier, so I ignored him, but he remained persistent and followed us briskly. It was clear he was faking an injury so I shooed him away. He muttered under his breath and headed to the spot where my car was parked. When I turned back, I saw him standing near the vehicle, but I didn’t think much of it,” recalled Nazia who works at Dubai Media City.
