After Delhi based "Gujarat files" writer Rana Ayyub had exposed the vulgar messages on Twitter sent to her by the man, "Just a sample of the filth I receive on my Facebook page. Time to name and shame this pervert," Ayyub had posted a screenshot of the message on April 6.

Following her tweet some one in UAE reported the matter to the management of the UAE company where the Indian worked.

Shadi Al Refai, human resource manager of National Paints in Sharjah , said that they received the complaint by email on April 7 from a man saying that one of the staff members abused a woman on social media. The email included a copy of the abusive message sent by the B B.

The management then summoned their customer service employee. B B who admitted sending the abusive messages and promised not to repeat his action. "When we checked on his Facebook account, we saw the abusive message which was sent to that lady in addition to offensive posts against Islam," he said.

“We verified the accuracy of the information and checked on the name of the man. On April 8, at 8 am the termination order for (B B) was issued,” Al Refai said and added management will pay for his tickets and his rights according to the UAE labour law.

Under the United Arab Emirates (UAE) cybercrime law, any form of misuse of a computer, smart device or an electronic network could fetch the violator, if found guilty, a lengthy jail term and/or a heavy fine.

UAE is set to deport an Indian man who abused Delhi-based journalist Rana Ayyub on social media. The Gulf News reported that the 33-year-old man was identified as B.B and hailed from Kerala. His visa has been cancelled.

Ayyub later tweeted that she would lodge a complaint against the man with the police in Delhi.
