London, Aug 9 (ANI): A Brit-Indian executive could face upto three years in a Dubai jail after being accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad in a text.

Deep Marwaha, 35, reportedly made the remark in an abuse-filled message sent to a Muslim colleague while both worked in Saudi Arabia.

According to The Sun, the massage allegedly ended with the taunt, 'now show what you can do. I know lots of sheiks.'

Marwaham, who was born in London to Indian parents, said that he was asleep when the text was sent.

Meanwhile, a judge in Dubai has adjourned the case until September. (ANI)
