Police say the suspect arrested for smashing the window of the local outlet of the global fast-food chain KFC has been remanded in custody for 30 days.
They said that the suspect arrested for allegedly smashing the window of KFC on the 16th of this month was a local man aged 48. Police noted that the man was arrested under a court order.
They said that the suspect was taken to his remand hearing earlier today and that the Criminal Court had ordered that the suspect be remanded in custody for 30 days.
Police said that they were further investigating the incident.
While a suspect is under custody for the 16th July incident, the window was smashed two nights back as well.
Police confirmed that no arrests have been made in the case and that they are further investigating the incident.
These attacks came after protests were staged in front of the restaurant by locals supporting Palestine urging Maldivians to boycott the global food chain for its support of the zionist regime of Israel responsible for war crimes and genocide in occupied Palestine.
Assailants have also thrown black oil at the restaurant as well as the Pizza Hut next door for their support of the Israeli government.
