Parliament yesterday summoned Education Minister Shifa Mohamed to question her about the Huraa drowning incident in which four students and the principal of Hiriya school died.
Police have meanwhile concluded their investigation into the incident and have sent the case to the Prosecutor General.
Shifa told Minivan News that she was questioned about the incident itself, and about how the Education Ministry had reacted in order to avoid such incidents from reoccuring.
”I told the parliament committee that the Education Ministry conducted an investigation, which has been now concluded and sent to the Human Rights Commission of the Maldives (HRCM), police and other institutions,” she said. ”Police have concluded their investigation into the matter and sent it the Prosecutor General.”
