The officers were responding to reports of a fight, at around 7:15pm on Monday night, the paper says, citing Sergeant Nahid Hussein.“Our officers acted on information received via a phone call, and went to the house of the person we heard was about to be attacked,” said Sergeant Nahid. “The person was under our protection when a group of around 15 men came to the house and started making a commotion.

One of them attacked the officers and then they all fled the scene.”The newspaper goes on to say both the officers “had welts and bruises on their backs and faces” as a result of the beating. The paper says the alleged attacker, Ahmed Shameen, 23, of Jeans Villa, in Hoarafushi, is now in custody.

Laguna Maldive

LAGUNA This is a good all-rounder: not too large to sacrifice that desert-island ambience, not so “honeymoonish” that parents will be constantly wishing their offspring came with a mute button, and not so quiet that active guests risk boredom. Many of the 115 rooms are in two-storey blocks, set back from the beach and shaded by lush vegetation. It has wonderful sweeps of beach and, although every island in the Maldives has a frill of magnificent turquoise water, the shallowness of the lagoon here means that the sea retains that stunning Tiffany colour as far as the eye can see. The pros: food is a cut above offerings in many other resorts. The cons: dated decor. Best for: groups of thirty- or fortysomethings. The package: Kuoni (01306 747008, www.kuoni.co.uk) has seven nights, B&B, from £747pp, including charter flights and transfers. more
