"What goes around comes around" says actor Abdulla Muaz, who was placed under a five-day house arrest on Saturday.

Arrested for possession of alcohol, the actor and coordinator at the National Centre for the Arts (NCA) was quick to make comments regarding the matter on social media.

In a tweet sent out on Saturday evening, not too long after it was reported that the Criminal Court had ruled to place him under house arrest, Muaz used his twitter account to make sure that the world knows that "what goes around comes around".

"The truth will haunt you", he said via his Facebook account, at around 2 am on Sunday.

While his posts did not mention a certain thing, it can be perceived that he is speaking about his arrest, and hinting that he was framed.

Muaz lost his post as coordinator previously, amid the speculation over former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb's arrest, as a number of his suspected allies were dismissed from government posts. However, he was reinstated later.

Also, the vice chairperson at the Maldives Film Association, Muaz was married to a senior official at the state broadcaster, Public Service Media (PSM).
