The Maldivian Democratic Party has called for Supreme Court Judge Ali Hameed to be investigated for forgery over apparent inconsistencies of age in his identity documents.
Copies of Hameed’s documents that recently surfaced on social media suggest that his birth date was revised from 1958 to 1964.
‘Funama’ Adam Manik, an MDP member, alleged that officials from President Abdulla Yameen’s government were involved in the forgery. “This could not have been done without the help of government officials,” Manik said.
Copies of Hameed’s passport dating back to 2008 showed his date of birth as October 14, 1958 while the other from 2013 showed the same to be September 25, 1964.
