Ali Rameez’s two shops vandalized

Apparently some people aren’t fans of Ali Rameez’s music. Two shops owned by the former singer who had reached superstar status in Maldives with his singing before calling it a day and retiring to a life of piety and entrepreneurship, were vandalized on Monday night.

The former singing sensation told Haveeru on Tuesday that the windows of his two shops, Freeze Brand and Freeze Veg, had been smashed sometime during the night. The two shops are situated next to each other.

“The windows were smashed by a thrown pavement stone,” he said. “The windows were almost completely destroyed. One of the pavement stones was found inside the store.”

He also said that he did not think robbery was the motive behind the attack but admitted that he had no idea who had done it or why.

“Robbing the place was clearly not what was on the mind of whoever who did it,” Ali Rameez, who now worked for a society dedicated to spreading religious awareness, said. He also said that it would probably take around Rf2,500 to replace the broken windows.

A Media Official from the Maldives Police Service said that they were investigating the incident but that no arrests had been made yet.
