Dr Mohamed Jameel Ahmed, the leader of the newly launched opposition coalition, is being investigated by the Maldives police on suspicion of links to a forged arrest warrant for President Abdulla Yameen.
A police spokesman said attempts to handover a summons for an interrogation have been unsuccessful.
Jameel, Yameen’s former deputy, is living in self-imposed exile in the United Kingdom. He fled the Maldives July last year, days before the parliament impeached him in a controversial vote.
Akram Kamaludeen, a member of the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party, and the chairman of private TV channel Raajje TV is also being investigated over the warrant. Akram is also out of the country.
