Shiyaza was arrested in July along with Saifullah Ahmed, 26, of Haazaarumaage, Dhidhdhoo in Haa Alifu Atoll, after police received a tip-off. Officers recovered three rubber packets containing a substance believed to be drugs, along with prohibited medicines, during the operation.
MPS said Shiyaza had been suspended from duty at the time of her arrest, and her dismissal followed the conclusion of the disciplinary probe.
