The Prosecutor General's (PG) Office has decided not to file charges against the Sri Lankan suspect in connection to the case where an expatriate was found dead at a K. Thilafushi work site.

Amin Miya, a 24-year-old Bangladeshi national, was discovered dead in a Thilafushi garbage dumpsite. Police previously said the victim was hit by the excavator’s claw and fell along with garbage being moved at the site, after which his body was covered in trash.

The suspect who was arrested regarding Amin's death was a 32-year old Sri Lankan national named Heshan Maduranga Disanayaka Menika. He was placed under remand for a time.

After an investigation was carried out, the police filed a request to the PG Office that Menika be charged with involuntary manslaughter. The office ruled that there was not enough evidence to press criminal charges against Menika.

According to the PG Office, they made this ruling in April as they saw a lack of negligence on the part of the excavator operator in Amin's death. The PG Office highlighted that on the day of the incident, Amin was not supposed to have reported for duty that day, with WAMCO having prohibited workers climbing into dumpsites due to the danger it posed.

The PG Office said that when the incident occurred, Amin was around 10 feet away from the excavator, and highlighted that when the police played out the incident, it was clear the driver would not be able to tell there was someone in the vicinity due to the lighting at the time. The office also said there was no hostility between the two of them.

Menika requested he be expatriated back home when the incident occurred. Sources say that he has been deported from Maldives.
