The father of a two-year-old boy was arrested Wednesday when he refused to comply with a court warrant ordering the return of the toddler to his mother.
The police used pepper-spray on the island of Himandhoo on Alif Alif Atoll to recover the child and arrested three of Shimal Ibrahim’s brothers on assault charges on Saturday.
All four have now been transferred to house arrest.
A video of the police’s recovery attempt has gone viral on social media.
