Police have reported that a 17 year-old girl living in Male’ is still missing after four days of searching by her family.
The police identified the girl as Saha Waheed, 17, of Madaveli in Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll.
According to police, Saha was reported missing last Monday and police are currently trying to find out what she was last wearing.
Director of Police General Investigations, Hassan Hameed, told the press that Saha had sent a text message to her family after she left: “This incident occurred by a mistake. Don’t look for me. Really sorry.”
“We have searched the islands and several guest houses and yet there has been no sign of her,” Hameed said.
Local media expressed confusion over the phrase ‘this incident’ as it was neither mentioned in the text nor explained by the police.
Police provided no further details other than to say there were no issues between the girl and her parents.
Saha was studying at the Maldives National University and staying at her sister’s place, police said.
In June last year, police searched for a 14 year-old boy and eventually located him in Addu after three days of searching. The boy left home to attend the mosque for prayers his parents raised the alarm when he failed to return.
Anyone with information concerning Saha’s disappearance should contact police on 332 2111.

there has to be a good and consistent policy to publish photos of persons in news.. such as in this case the girl maybe a victim of household problems and exposing her pic like this adding salt to injury. She maybe a victim or she might have tried to elope with a bf or whatever. it could be one mistake on her part but exposing her like this with her face pic as if she is a big criminal is not going to help her. she has a whole life to live and we have to be sensitive to people's wishes.
Hope she's allright...
Jameel: see the last para in the article. She's been searched for by the parents,So the photo may help people to identify her and inform them. Nobody is criminalizing her.
