Muscat: Three students were arrested for being involved in an obscene video at one of the private schools in Muscat governorate, local media reported.

The incident is under investigation by the Public Prosecution.

The court also slapped them with a 1,000 riyal fine.
In November of last year, an Omani was found guilty of posting revealing pictures of his girlfriend on Instagram and was sentenced to one month in jail and fined 2,000 riyals, half of which was rewarded to his ex-girlfriend for compensation.
The man admited he posted the pictures in anger after a fight they had.
