Sultana was earlier served a notice to appear on Sunday in connection with the case. The Kerala High Court had directed that in case she was arrested, she should be given interim bail.

BJP Lakshadweep president Abdulkhader Haji had petitioned the police citing a remark of Sultana in a TV channel discussion that the Covid-19 surge in Lakshadweep was due to decisions of administrator Praful Khoda Patel and was a 'bio weapon' of the BJP.
