    An Indian man and his Pakistani driving instructor are facing a trial in Dubai in a corruption case, a media report said on Sunday.

    The Indian bribed the Pakistani instructor 500 Dirhams ($136) to manipulate the number of lessons he took and clear him in five driving tests so that he could get a driving licence earlier.
