On Saturday, Kapar MP S. Manikavasagam had received a compact disc (CD) containing the full version of the sex video at his parliamentary office, and had demanded an explanation from the police.
Today, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar revealed that several other people have also received copies of the CD in their mail.
“We can confirm that a number of VIPs including politicians have received copies of the video believed to have been distributed by certain parties. Several police reports have been lodged,” he was quoted by state news agency Bernama.
The video first made headlines on March 21 after it was aired to selected media outlets at the Carcosa Seri Negara by an individual identifying himself as “Datuk T”.
Two days after the screening, the trio of Datuk Shazryl Eskay Abdullah, former Malacca chief minister Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik and Perkasa treasurer-general Datuk Shuib Lazim came forward to reveal themselves collectively as “Datuk T”.
Following a police investigation into the screening, the trio claimed to have surrendered the only extant copy of the sex video to the police.
The unedited video had also been uploaded to video sharing website YouTube on April 28, but was taken down shortly after for violating the site’s terms of usage. Prior to that, two “teasers” of the clip had also been uploaded to the same site.
The police have denied involvement over the leaks.
