Today evening I stopped my car in the traffic signal near Hamad Hospital, my car was stopped before the line and after the signal light turned it into green I have started driving my car, but after a fraction of seconds I have noticed a light flashed behind my car, i really don't know what does it mean? since I was maintaining a normal speed and driven the car after signal turned it into green.

Any QL members can explain and share their experiences of such violation.

How to defend my case with traffic department, please advise

maybe because you already reach the line that has a traffic sensor, as you can see, all traffic signal that has a camera installed, you can see a black line on the road just near to the intersection, that line has a sensor. so, you should not cross that line before the traffic line turn to green. once you cross that line when the traffic light not yet turn green, the sensor will trigger the camera to flash or take picture. in that case you are beating the red light. to make sure you did not violate, you have to wait 3-5 days to check it thru online if you have violation. check this website www.moi.gov.qa traffic violation section

It could have been as your traffic light turned green, it had just turned red for another car, so maybe he got flashed and you saw the flash from his violation.

Just wait a few days and check www.moi.gov.qa
