Members of the National Integrity Commission (NIC) are to be presented to the Parliament Oversight Committee on Independent Commissions where they will be quizzed about their works to address allegations of police negligence in the recent safari rape case.

Head of the committee, MP Rozaina Adam tweeted earlier in the day that the NIC will be presented to their meeting on Monday to investigate potential police negligence in the rape case and to question them on what steps they have taken to further probe the case.

The Parliament committee on Human Rights and Gender is also set to investigate the case during their meeting scheduled for 2:00pm tomorrow.

Maldives Police Service has arrested two 39-year-old local men with a connection to the rape of a woman on a safari yacht in the early hours of Friday morning. The two were taken into custody from the scene of the crime but were later released due to insufficient evidence.

This was followed by the criticism of the public towards the police and the government with some people alleging that the suspects were released through political influence.

Some people have alleged that the suspects arrested in connection to the rape case is the husband of the MP for Hinnavaru constituency and Chair of the Human Rights and Gender Committee, Jeehan Mahmood and another family member.

Maldives Police Service has said that the case is being investigated even though the suspects were released.
