A 45-year-old Bangladeshi man, Abdul Kareem, was arrested on May 24 after police found 32 cartons of Manchester brand cigarettes during an operation at the Thilafushi Boatyard, and at his remand hearing on Sunday he denied the goods were his. The Criminal Court extended his remand by 15 days, noting he has not identified the person he claims gave him the items and that he was residing in the country illegally.
