A computer teacher from India working at Vaikaradhoo School in Haa Dhaalu Atoll has been sent home for allegedly preaching Christianity.
Island Councillor Ahmed Hashim said the teacher had denied Islam and promoted Christianity to her students and other teachers, explaining he had received information about the case on Thursday.
Hashim said as soon as the island office was informed the police were called and the woman taken to the police station.
”During her departure from the island she also telephoned the island chief and requested permission to preach,” Hashim said.
