Members of the cabinet had strongly condemned Tuesday's altercation between angry protesters and yoga attendees, with the former resorting to threats and intimidation against the latter.
President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih had affirmed via Twitter that swift action will be taken against the culprits.
President Solih had assured that the incident was investigated as a matter of importance and added that the individuals will be brought to justice.
Local law enforcement authorities claim the various equipment used by the mob to arm themselves, were acquired from the party office of Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) - the main opposition party - an allegation the party denied sternly.
