Criminal Court orders Irufaan's remand in custody pending trial

Criminal court has ordered the remand in custody of Irfan Thagiyyu, who was accused of smuggling 72-kg of drugs into the country after the Supreme Court revoked his release order.

After detaining Irfan under allegations of trafficking 72-kg of drugs into the country via sea passage, he was released from remand late last year. Supreme Court had subsequently passed an order stipulating that this was against the law.
