A

supervisor who groped his female co-worker in a lift while moving furniture has been jailed for three months.

The Nepalese woman porter had accompanied her 28-year-old Indian supervisor to a building to move furniture in Al Quoz in July 2018, when the boss groped his co-worker in the elevator and kissed her.
