Maldives Police Service on Monday night confirmed that seven officers were suspended and under criminal investigations over the brutal misconduct against a suspect arrested late last Thursday.
A statement released by the police addressed that Commissioner of Police (CP) Mohamed Hameed ordered Professional Standards Command to investigate the incident after a video of officers from the Drug Enforcement Department (DED) beating up a suspect in Ujaalaage, Maafannu ward, went viral on social media.
