Police have arrested three men and a minor on suspicion of a brutal attack on a Bangladeshi national on Goidhoo in Baa Atoll, which left him with serious injuries.
According to a police media official, the man was attacked by the group around 1.45am on Monday night, at the Goidhoo harbour area.
The reason for attack was unspecified by the police as the investigation is still ongoing.
However according to a Goidhoo Councillor, islanders are claiming that the Bangladeshi man was attacked in retaliation for “holding the hands of a married girl”, with whom he was claimed to be friends.
