Hameed was dismissed in August 2012 on suspicion of leaking confidential information.

The Supreme Court has ordered the Maldives Police Service to reinstate former chief superintendent Mohamed ‘MC’ Hameed.
The judgment came after Hameed appealed a High Court decision in November 2016 to overturn a civil court order for his reinstatement.
The Supreme Court previously refused to hear the appeal. But a request by Hameed to review the decision was accepted in the wake of September’s presidential election . The court has reviewed the cases of several politicians and ordered their release since former president Abdulla Yameen’s election defeat.
