MAKKAH — Two Saudi men and a woman allegedly beat up a member of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Hai'a) on Wednesday night after he caught one of their female relatives with an Arab man in a state of khulwa (seclusion) inside a car. The girl, who managed to escape the scene afterward, called for help from her family after the Hai'a officer caught the couple. Lt. Col. Zaki Al-Rehaili, spokesman for Makkah police, said the victim sustained a fractured skull when he was hit with a stone by one of the assailants. The Arab man and the three attackers were arrested by police officers and handed over to Ajyad police station. They will be referred to the Bureau of Investigation and Prosecution.
