Muhammed Yusoff Rawther, who has an ongoing sexual assault suit against Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, has been remanded for alleged firearms and drug possession.
According to his lawyer Rafique Rashid, the Kuala Lumpur police detained the former aide to Anwar at around 9.30am on Sept 6.
"Police reportedly found two guns and 305g of drugs, believed to be ganja (marijuana) in a vehicle he was in.
"Yusoff (above) has been in remand since Sept 6," Rafique said in a statement today, adding that his client is under remand to facilitate investigations under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 after the initial remand application under the Arms Act 1960 was rejected.
"Yusoff told the investigators that the firearms and the drugs were not his and that he had nothing to do with the prohibited substances. His urine test is also negative," Rafique noted.
