President Mohamed Solih dismissed Hamdhoon Rasheed from his position as Police Commissioner on Wednesday.
According to sources, Hamdhoon received an honourable discharge from active duty.
Having served in Maldives Police Services for over 20 years, Hamdhoon was appointed Commissioner in October 2018 by former President Abdullah Yameen Abdul Gayoom shortly before his electoral defeat.
At the time of his appointment, there were only 41 days left ahead of the oathtaking ceremony for President-Elect Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.
Hamdhoon previously served as Assistant Commissioner and was also the chief commander in charge of all police operations concerning the presidential elections held on September 23, 2018.
