During the committee meeting held on Wednesday, members had expressed concern regarding the missing journalist’s case and how his case is being drawn-out.

While one of the committee members submitted the case, all members present unanimously passed to summon officials at the institute for questioning.

Committee chair and MP for north-Hithadhoo constituency, Mohamed Aslam revealed that they will be summoned to the next committee meeting.

Members of the National Integrity Commission (NIC), Human Rights Commission of the Maldives (HRCM) and the presidential commission on enforced murders and disappearances had also unanimously passed to question seniors at the police institute.
