A report by The Washington Post alleges Maldivian opposition leaders sought $6M from India to impeach President Mohamed Muizzu. The plan, detailed in the "Democratic Renewal Initiative," involved bribing 40 MPs, paying military officials, and enlisting criminal gangs. Discussions reportedly began with India's intelligence agency, RAW, but the plan failed to gain sufficient support. Former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed denied involvement, stating India would never back such a move. Relations between India and Maldives recently improved after Muizzu's October visit to India, following strained ties over his earlier "India Out" agenda and pro-China stance.
