Local media outlet Channel News Maldives (CNM) has published a leaked photograph circulating on social media apparently showing Deputy Minister of Transport Ibrahim Nazim in a casino.
The report claimed that the photograph was taken in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The television behind the individual alleged to be Nazim in its bottom corner says “Welcome to Bellagio”, a Colombo casino.
CNM also reported that police were currently verifying the matter.
However, a police spokesperson disputed the claim stating that police had not formally “received any reports regarding such a case”. He also refused to comment on CNM’s allegation that police were trying to verify the authenticity of the photograph.
