Abdulla Falah Shareef, president of Gnaviyani Atoll Council, has been arrested.
The arrest warrant issued by Criminal Court states that Falah’s presence had been requested in court as a witness in relation to a theft case, but he had failed to oblige.
The court therefore requested police to hold him in custody in order to present him before court at 10:00 a.m. on 29 November 2015.
