A man has been kidnapped and robbed by a group in the capital city Male.
Police arrested a 26-year-old man on Monday and produced him before the Criminal Court on Tuesday for his remand.
According to the court order of the man, who is from Male, he along with others forcibly took a person to a house and held him. Thereafter, he was beaten up and other crimes were committed, the police said during the closed-door hearing.
The charges against him are:
-
Robbery
-
Threatening using a sharp weapon
-
Assault
-
Abduction
The court order shows that the police have produced enough evidence to level the allegations.
Criminal Court Judge Sofwath Habeeb ordered him to remain in custody for 15 days for the "safety and security" of society.
The court order does not say when this happened or what was robbed from the man.
