Three men have been arrested on suspicion of trying to abduct the younger sister of a 19-year-old woman who went missing last month.
On Monday, police intercepted a small boat with three men who had left Maamendhoo island in Laamu atoll with a 16-year-old girl. The suspects were aged, 22, 24 and 26, police said.
According to media report, the girl is the younger sister of the missing Aminath Shima Nafiz.
