Chief Inspector Hamdhoon Rasheed told the press that a joint investigation with the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) is underway.
“We would like to assure the Maldivian people that we will investigate this incident as a serious case and that the Maldivian police and MNDF will work together to find out the truth of how this happened,” he said.
Hamdhoon said a police forensic team was gathering evidence and that he could not reveal further details. The media will be briefed in due course, he said.
