Another DPP stares into barrel of gun

Hours after a DPP in Kuala Terengganu is threatened by a man with a gun, another DPP in KL is robbed at gunpoint.

KUALA LUMPUR: Another senior deputy public prosecutor was attacked and robbed at gunpoint within hours after a DPP reported that she was threatened by a man with a gun on Sunday afternoon.

The second incident involved a DPP in his mid-30s attached with the Deputy Public Prosecutor’s office here.

The victim was having dinner with a few friends at a fast-food restaurant in Pudu here. He told his friends that his drink could have been spiked.

He was later bundled into car before being robbed at gunpoint at an undisclosed location. The assailants took his handphone and some cash before droping him near Nilai, Negri Sembilan.

A source told FMT that the DPP also sought outpatient treatment for a broken nose after being assaulted by the robbers.

It is not clear whether the second incident was linked to the first incident in Terengganu.

In that incident, a senior DPP lodged a police report stating that she was threatened at gunpoint when her car pulled up at a traffic light.

The DPP and her 14-year-old daughter, who was with her in the car, escaped unhurt.
