Police arrested culprits after the complaints from residents. The sources mention that “there were 22 men and 29 women violators”. The violations include inappropriate clothing in public areas. The number of women violators is more than men. This is not common in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has opened the doors for many people. However, the laws and rules clearly mention maintaining certain decency in public areas. It is common in any country to implement certain laws but these laws help citizens and tourists visiting those countries.
