Muscat: The Public Prosecution of the Sultanate of Oman has sentenced Mohammed Faras, an Indian national, to two years in prison and a three-month driving ban. The court ruling stems from a tragic incident where Faras was driving at high speed in the wrong direction on a divided road, resulting in the deaths of four people and injuries to fifteen others.
In addition to the prison sentence, Faras is also required to pay for the damages caused by his reckless actions. Following the completion of his prison term, he will be deported from Oman.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the severe consequences of reckless driving and emphasizes the critical importance of adhering to traffic laws to ensure public safety. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and Faras remains in custody.
