Dhiyana Saeed, the minister for Gender and Human Rights, said police had beaten up Abdulla Jabir during a raid on a small island being developed as a tourist resort.
"Police even hit Jabir on his private organs so hard that he is still bleeding," Saeed was quoted as saying on the local Minivannews website.
President Mohamed Waheed's office said she was sacked "for making false allegations" against the police.
Jabir, a member of parliament, was arrested on Friday along with another opposition lawmaker and two senior advisers of former president Mohamed Nasheed.
Drinking is punishable with hefty fines and lengthy jail terms under local and sharia law in the Maldives, a nation of 330,000 Sunni Muslims.
The opposition has described the arrests as politically motivated.
The Maldives is best known for its upmarket tourism industry but has recently been troubled by an increase in religious extremism, with calls to ban spas and massage parlours from tourist resorts.
The country has also been in political turmoil for over a year.
Nasheed, the nation's first democratically elected president, resigned in February after weeks of street protests against his administration and later claimed he was ousted in a coup.
