Jailed former vice president Ahmed Adeeb’s prison cell has been raided by police on the suspicion that he was hiding a mobile phone, reports local media.
Citing a confidential source, Raajje MV said the raid occurred on Monday at the detention facility on Dhoonidhoo island.
Police believe that Adeeb was secretly using a mobile phone to contact people outside the prison to give instructions on tweeting about his health condition, the source said.
The raid was conducted by a police forensic team from the capital city Malé, whereas previous raids have been conducted by police teams stationed at the Dhoonidhoo island facility.
