The phone of a Maldivian man who clicked a picture of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu on the latter’s recent unofficial visit to Singapore, has been seized.
The man’s mobile phone was seized as soon as his flight touched down at Velana International Airport (VIA).
The phone was seized under a court order.
When contacted, the Maldives Police Service (MPS) confirmed the matter.
The photo was publicized by a user on social media platform ‘X’.
President Muizzu is seen inside a shopping mall with his family, in the photo.
He was seen accompanied by his security.
Social media users flooded the comment section of the pictures, pointing out that the SPGs seen accompanying the president were carrying multiple shopping bags.
The president and his spouse, First Lady Sajidha Mohamed returned home on Wednesday night after concluding their brief visit to Singapore, for a medical reason.
