Dubai: A 33-year-old Indian worker in Saudi Arabia was arrested for allegedly attempting to cast a magic spell on his employer.
The man has admitted to committing the crime and said he wanted to cast a magic spell on his employer in order to get rich quickly, police said.
The man, who was not identified, received an envelope from India containing suspicious material with which he allegedly wanted to cast a magic spell on his employer, but the envelope was seized before he could collect it, they said.
The Saudi Gazette report said that an official at the post office thought the envelope from India addressed to the man contained something suspicious.
The envelope was later found to contain papers with strange writings used for magic and sorcery spells and the Criminal Investigations Department was informed.
According to the paper, a trap was set in which the postman was replaced with a police detective and the addressee was called to receive the envelope.
