Three men who were arrested while attempting to flee with the younger sister of missing girl Aminath Shima Nafiz, have been released.

Shima had gone missing in February while travelling to Maamendhoo on a dinghy.

In March, the group of men, in their twenties, were arrested while attempting to flee with Shima’s 16-year-old sister on a dinghy with their faces covered.

The group included Ibrahim Fazeel, who had been operating the vessel escorting Shima to Maamendhoo on the day she went missing.

RaajjeMV has confirmed that the Gan court released all three men after they agreed to certain conditions.

On February 22, Shima boarded a flight from Male’ to Fonadhoo and then attempted to travel to Maamendhoo on a dinghy being steered by Fazeel, who after the dinghy overturned, placed her on top of it and swam to a nearby resort.
