Former Minister Rishad Bathiudeen has been arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department early this morning.
Before the arrest MP Bathiudeen tweeted that his brother Riyaj Bathiudeen was also arrested.
“The CID has been standing outside my house in Boudhaloka Mawatha since 1.30 am today attempting to arrest me without a charge. They have already arrested my brother. I have been in Parliament, and have cooperated with all lawful authorities until now. This is unjust.” MP Bathiudeen tweeted.
