A police officer, who was in charge of the Dhoonidhoo Island remand center, has been accused of putting several detainees to work, pocketing funds and giving special treatment to several suspects arrested in serious crimes.
Sub- Inspector of police Mujathaba Zahir is accused of letting several suspects out of their cells and letting them roam around the island, the Anti- Corruption Commission (ACC) has said.
He accommodated several in special barracks with a television, and allowed them to eat with police officers at the mess room.
Some suspects were let out of their cells even though the police had not completed investigations.
