MP Mohamed Musthafa, of the Thimarafushi constituency, has been summoned by the police to have samples of his voice collected for an ongoing investigation.
The parliamentarian is being investigated on allegations of conspiring to overthrow the government, and had been summoned to the police on Monday as well.
Musthafa was summoned at about 14:30 on Monday, and he attended with his legal representative Mahfooz Saeed.
The police are investigating Musthafa for an interview he gave during a political talk-show on local news outlet RaajjeTV, on 28th July last year.

Musthafa told RaajjeMV on Monday that he is to attend the police headquarters again on Tuesday night, and that he has not denied any of the allegations made against him.
