I can believe what you wrote regarding about your indian cleaner. When we arrived 5 years ago, there was a news in the Gulf Times that stuck with us ever since, guess we were new and found it unbelievable.
A car, with what was stated by witnesses was being driven by 'Qatari youths' ran over a gardener on the Corniche, then, reversed back over his legs!!! Car and driver got away (according to the article) and it was never mentioned again in the paper.
