Police have accused Raudh Ahmed Zilal of possible involvement in Hawwa Yumnu Rasheed's fall from a building.

It has been reported that when Police sought a court order for Raudh's arrest, they mentioned charges of possible involvement in Yumnu's fall, being intoxicated at the time of the incident, and use for sexual purposes.

Although Police stated that Raudh has been arrested under a court order in relation to the incident where a woman, Yumnu, was found fallen onto the roof of H. Mitaaz, they did not reveal the charges against him.

Although Police have included these charges in the request for court order, they have previously said that their investigation shows no involvement of another person in Yumnu's fall.

In addition to Raudh's arrest, Police have also seized the phones of seven individuals, including Yumnu.

Police have also inspected Ma. Maandhooge Dhekunubai's terrace, second floor and fourth floor, as well as G. Kashivelige's third floor under a search order.

Police have stated that Yumnu fell from a fanlight in the 9th floor stairwell of H. Fentoniya.

In a press conference yesterday, Police showed some CCTV footage showing Yumnu and Raudhu on the stairwell of, and outside, H. Fentoniya.

Police have said that the investigation has now learned the identities of all individuals who were accompanying Yumnu earlier on the night. They said that statements have been taken from all these individuals, and travel bans placed on them. Police have now revealed the identities of all these individuals.

The investigation is proceeding under a cloud of public accusations of police coverups and discrimination in the investigation.
