A police officer who was stabbed during an operation to stop drug smuggling into the Maafushi prison underwent surgery on Sunday at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Malé.
Constable Ali Razzan, 19, was stabbed in the chest near his left shoulder when he confronted a man who jumped off a speedboat that was intercepted by a police vessel and tried to run ashore onto the island.
According to the police, the operation was carried out jointly by the Maldives Correctional Service and police officers from the Maafushi station.
Razzan was rushed to the Maafushi health centre after the stabbing and was later transferred to IGMH. After undergoing surgery, the injured policeman was transferred to the hospital’s ward.
