The council of Mathiveri in Alif Alif atoll has denied allegations of arson after a fire destroyed six rooms on the island’s biggest guesthouse.
The fire broke out at the unoccupied Casa Mia guesthouse on Sunday night. It was put out by the joint efforts of the public, the council and the island’s fire-fighter team.
No one was harmed as the property owned by MP-elect Abdulla Jabir was vacant.
On Tuesday morning, police informed the media that a police investigative team dispatched to the island found three bottles of alcohol inside one of the rooms.
