A Sri Lankan man who had been deported from Maldives earlier for engaging in prostitution has been arrested in Malé again by the Police.
Speaking at press conference held at the Police Headquarters on Thursday, the Head of the Serious and Organized Crimes Unit Inspector Hamdhoon Rasheed said that the Sri Lankan man named Sisera Kumara Fernando had been deported last October for running a prostitution ring and had returned to Maldives using a false passport.
Police had got wind of his activities and arrested the pimp and his prostitute, a Sri Lankan woman, while they were inside the guesthouse at M. Imnaa Mariyaadh, Hamdhoon said.
Hamdhoon further said that they had arrested two Maldivians for sponsoring prostitutes and facilitating their stay in Maldives.
