The police have returned seven out of 33 pieces of broadcasting equipment confiscated from Sangu TV during a raid of the privately-owned station’s offices in Malé more than five months ago.
The police had raided Sangu TV in the early hours of November 7 in connection with a “threatening video message” uploaded to YouTube and confiscated all of the station’s hard disks and broadcasting equipment, forcing Sangu TV to stop live transmission for three days.
On Friday, the police returned three laptops and four hard disks.
Sangu TV managing director Ibrahim ‘Asward’ Waheed told The Maldives Independent that the laptops were returned after repeated requests. They contained administrative documents and forms, he added.
