Police are investigating allegations that a man was assaulted by individuals believed to be police officers at a house in Kampung Sungai Ingat, Banting, last month.
Kuala Langat deputy police chief DSP Mohd Sufian Amin said a report was lodged on Nov 18 by the victim’s mother. According to the report, the 39-year-old woman received a three-minute closed-circuit television (CCTV) recording that allegedly shows her son being slapped repeatedly by several individuals who introduced themselves as police officers.
Mohd Sufian said the complainant’s father also claimed to have witnessed the incident, which was allegedly carried out in an attempt to obtain evidence from the victim.
“The case is being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code,” he said in a statement today.
He urged the public not to speculate on the matter, warning that such actions could interfere with ongoing investigations. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the nearest police station or the Kuala Langat District Police Headquarters Operations Room at 03-3187 2222.
Earlier, lawyer Latheefa Koya said during a press conference that the victim, a man in his 20s, alleged he was beaten and burned with fire while in police custody to force a confession to a crime he denied committing.
