A court has ordered a 15-day remand for a man accused of engaging in public nuisance activities over an 18-month period.
The case involves repeated disturbances that authorities say have affected a neighbourhood for more than a year and a half. Details of the specific charges were not fully outlined in initial reports, but the remand allows police to continue their investigation.
Public nuisance cases have drawn attention in Malé in recent weeks, with residents raising concerns about ongoing issues involving substance use and harassment. Officials have faced calls to take stronger action to address long-running complaints.
The court's decision comes amid broader discussions about institutional responses to such cases. Neighbourhood groups and individuals have highlighted the impact on daily life and safety.
Further hearings are expected once the remand period ends and additional evidence is reviewed.
