having her television on at top volume has been fined Dh100 (N4312) for creating a public
nuisance.
Her 41-year-old Russian neighbour complained to the building's management and Dubai Police that she could not sleep because of the loud
music coming from her 27-year-old Algerian
neighbour's apartment.
The incident happened on the 27th floor of a
tower block on Shaikh Zayed Road on March 1.
The Algerian woman however pleaded not guilty,
saying she had switched off the television and
left her house before the incident happened.
The Russian complainant said: "I moved into the
building on February 12. She constantly left the
sound of music at a very loud and disturbing
volume. The loud volume became very
disturbing to me and my roommate. Several
times F.Q.(the Algerian) put the television on
music channels, turned the volume loud and left
her flat. I repeatedly asked her in a very friendly
manner to reduce the volume…but every time
she became angry and asked me not to discuss
the issue with her.
"I complained to the management several times
but to no avail. However around 4.30am on
March 1 the volume was very loud and
unbearable. Then I decided to call the police
because I couldn't sleep for several nights. The
police came and knocked on the woman's door
for nearly 30 minutes but no one answered the
door."
Prosecution records said police ordered the
building watchman to disconnect the power to
stop the music.
Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Al Tamim,
Dubai Police Chief, warned on Tuesday that
motorists and bikers would have their vehicles
permanently confiscated if they played loud
music in residential areas.
