The report was filed by a 26-year-old man last month, who claimed that Anwar's political secretary Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak assaulted him at the premises.
The man also submitted a medical report from a private hospital regarding the alleged injuries he sustained during the incident.
It was said the two were locked in a heated argument before the situation escalated.

“There were no untoward incidents which took place as claimed by the individual,” he added.
The case was investigated under Section 323 and Section 526 of the Penal Code for intimidation and voluntarily causing hurt.
