    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 24-year-old Indian, who was seeking a driving license, was presented in the Dubai Criminal Court on Saturday for bribing the Pakistani driving school instructor, Emirates 24/7 news reported.
     
    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.
     
    The 40-year-old instructor was also charged for accepting a bribe.
     
    An Emirati armed forces recruit saw the money passing between them and informed the police. They were arrested and the driving instructor later confessed the crime.
