Cheras police chief Rosdi Daud says the incident arose from a business turf dispute, but investigations are ongoing.
Cheras police chief Rosdi Daud said preliminary investigations suggested that the incident arose from a business turf dispute, but investigations are ongoing to establish the actual cause.
“We urge the public not to speculate as investigations are still ongoing,” he was quoted by Bernama as saying at the Cheras police headquarters today.
Rosdi said police had arrested nine people, including a woman, aged between 16 and 44, to assist in the investigation. They also seized several items believed to have been used in the incident.
He said two of those arrested, aged 32 and 44, were identified as the main suspects.
“All nine were remanded for between one and three days. Six had records for criminal and drug-related offences,” he said, adding that police were tracking down 15 others believed to have been involved in the incident.
The case is being investigated under Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting with weapons.
Earlier, Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus confirmed that a team from the Sungai Besi police station’s mobile patrol vehicle unit and the Cheras police headquarters’ criminal investigation division had arrested nine people.
The arrests were made near the scene after police received information about a fight involving a group of people at about 11pm. - FMT
