Former Defence Minister Colonel (retired) Mohamed Nazim has been arrested and taken to Dhoonidhoo custodial.
Nazim informed while getting out of his residence with some Police officers that he has been arrested under a warrant.
Some local media report that the Police has concluded the investigation of the case and sent the case to the Prosecutor General for prosecution.
Commissioner of Police Hussein Waheed earlier stated that Nazim was not arrested then because the investigation team did not find it necessary.

Following his arrest Nazim tweeted that he “Wish to inform all well wishers ive been taken to police custody tonight. Allah almighty will give me justice..Insha allah.”
