Police carried Taser gun during raid on Adhadhu

Police raided the Adhadhu newsroom and seized 20 devices following a documentary about President Muizzu. During the operation, an officer violated protocols by mishandling a taser. The raid occurred shortly after the President called for legal action, and travel bans have since been issued against the outlet's top editors.
