Ex-Pres Gayoom calls for arrest of rape suspect

Former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom has also called for the arrest of a suspect in a recently reported rape case.

The suspect is reportedly the younger brother of a senior lawmaker of ruling party PPM.

In a tweet on Saturday, Gayoom said he was “deeply shocked” by the sexual assault of the 19-year-old.

“The culprit must be caught and brought to justice without delay.”

The victim was allegedly raped after she went to an art studio for a project last Wednesday, and was given money to remain quiet, reported some news outlets.

She reportedly gave a detailed description of the assault, and police have taken samples from her body.

The police service has confirmed that they are investigating such a case, but have refused to give details.
