SEREMBAN: A sub-inspector found with four other men in an entertainment centre here was not charged in court with breaching the movement control order (MCO) as he was there on official duty.
State police chief DCP Datuk Mohamad Mat Yusop said a police probe found that the officer from the state contingent had been instructed by his superior to go to the said premises to carry out surveillance on gang activity that day.
“However, the four others, including the owner of the centre, were eventually charged with flouting the MCO, ” he said, adding that they were charged under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures within the Infected Local Areas) Regulations 2020.
DCP Mohamad was asked to respond to claims made by someone in a video which questioned whether there was action taken against the officer following his arrest.
Another allegation heard in the video was that the officer had collected protection money from several outlets in the Rasah Jaya area.
To this, DCP Mohamad said police did not receive any report about such a claim.
“We welcome feedback from anyone including the individual in the clip and we will investigate, ” he added.
A police team was dispatched to the place following a complaint that it was operating despite the MCO.
Upon arrival, policemen found the centre was locked from the inside and they could hear music. - Star
