Slashed by politician: Investigation papers with DPP - police

 

The police have completed an investigation on a man who claimed to have been slashed by a politician for lodging a report to the MACC.

Sentul district police chief Beh Eng Lai, when contacted, said the case was investigated under Section 324 of the Penal Code (for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means) and the investigation paper (IP) had been submitted to the deputy public prosecutor’s office today for further action.

He said the 36-year-old suspect was still remanded.

Police nabbed the suspect last Saturday following a report by a 42-year-old man.

The victim, who sustained a three-centimetre deep wound on his left wrist claimed to have been stabbed with a knife by the man at 4pm in Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, on Friday.

Police investigation found that there was a misunderstanding between the victim and the 36-year-old suspect who was dissatisfied with the victim for lodging a report to MACC over the alleged misappropriation of money.
