VOANews

   India has deported a former Maldives vice president.

   Ahmed Adeeb was deported Saturday.

   He tried to enter India's southern port of Tuticorin on Thursday aboard
   a tugboat.

   The tugboat crew and Adeeb were handed over to Maldivian authorities at
   the International Maritime Boundary Line.

   Adeeb is facing attempted murder and corruption charges at home. He has
   been accused of trying to assassinate then Maldives president Abdulla
   Yameen in 2015.
