Jailed former vice president Ahmed Adheeb Abdul Ghafoor has been admitted in the state-run Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) on Friday, his family confirmed.
Adheeb's wife on Twitter confirmed that her husband was receiving treatment at IGMH, though his condition remains unclear.
The ex-VP had been treated in the capital twice in the last few weeks amid increasing calls on the government to allow him to go abroad for medical treatment.
The ex-VP's is serving 33 years in prison over two counts of terrorism and corruption including the blast aboard the presidential speedboat which has been now confirmed as a plot to assassinate president Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom.
He is also facing multiple counts of terrorism and graft charges including a second assassination plot involving a Sri Lankan sniper.
His family had claimed that he has been diagnosed with an internal cyst, kidney stones and a dangerous eye disease “glaucoma”.
Government meanwhile has attracted intense opposition criticism over its decision to deny Adheeb medical leave insisting that there was a real threat that the ex VP would abscond.
