At the time of joining, he was enlisted in national security with a rank of private, and then lance corporal, corporal, and sergeant until he was promoted to the rank of staff sergeant and warrant officer in grade 1. Prior to his retirement in 2006 from the service as a lieutenant, he was the first lieutenant at the National Security Service as well as the Maldives National Defence Force.[2]
Kaleyfaanu was charged in 2015–2016 by the Criminal Court of Maldives for his alleged role in terrorism and arbitrary arrest of Criminal Court Chief Justice Abdulla Mohamed in 2012.
