Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohd Khalid Ismail said communication devices believed to have been used to upload and distribute information related to the incident were also seized when the police arrested the suspects, aged between 21 and 47.

AGC files appeal against sentence imposed on motoring influencer, brother
KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) has filed a notice of appeal against the sentence meted out to motoring influencer Tengku Nizarudin Tengku Zainudin and his brother, Tengku Abdul Aziz Tengku Zainudin. The Muar Magistrate's Court 1, on July 25, had sentenced both men to one month's jail and a RM1,500 fine for lodging a false police report on Tengku Nizarudin's alleged disappearance. The court ruled that Tengku Nizaruddin could face an additional three months' imprisonment and Tengku Aziz six months, if they fail to pay the fine. Both paid the fines. However, the AGC, in a statement today, said it would be appealing the sentence. "After studying and reviewing the decision of the Muar Magistrate's Court 1, the department has filed an appeal against the sentence against both offenders," it said. It noted that Section 182 of the Penal Code provides for a maximum jail term of six months and a fine of up to RM2,000, or both. On Saturday, Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar was quoted as saying that the department would re-examine the case. He said that although the court had meted out its sentence, his office would be thoroughly reviewing the charges and the facts of the case. On July 14, Tengku Abdul Aziz had lodged a police report, claiming his brother had gone missing. The next day, a car driven by Tengku Nizarudin was found submerged in Sungai Tui in Bukit Kepong. This prompted a search and rescue operation involving the Fire and Rescue Department and the police. Almost a week later, police investigations showed that the influencer had deliberately submerged his car in the river and had his brother pick him up, before crossing into Thailand via Padang Besar, Perlis. Immigration records confirmed Tengku Nizaruddin's entry into Thailand. In court, their counsel said Tengku Nizaruddin staged the incident due to financial difficulties. Both men were charged with conspiring to give false information to a public servant regarding Tengku Nizaruddin's disappearance, and pleaded guilty to the offence.

Theft by drug addicts drives Kedah crime spike, says police chief
ALOR SETAR: Theft committed by drug addicts has emerged as the primary factor behind the surge in index crime cases in Kedah, according to state police chief CP Adzli Abu Shah. From January 1 to July 27, Kedah recorded 2,852 index crime cases, with nearly half linked to theft by drug users. 'Kedah police will maintain the focus outlined by former police chief Datuk Fisol Salleh, which is to eradicate drug-related crime,' Adzli said. He stressed that addressing drug addiction could significantly reduce crime rates. 'We believe that if drug issues can be tackled and eliminated as much as possible, the overall index crime rate in Kedah can be brought down,' he added. Adzli's remarks followed Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail's call for Kedah to intensify efforts against drug abuse. The minister had urged the state to exit the top four rankings for drug addiction during the 2025 National Anti-Drug Day celebration in Jitra last Friday. Separately, Adzli assured that Kedah police are reinforcing border security despite the Thailand-Cambodia conflict being distant from Malaysia's northern border. 'Precautionary steps are being taken by strengthening security at Malaysia's border checkpoints,' he said. He emphasized the need for vigilance, acknowledging support from agencies like the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency. 'We must not let our guard down. We are committed to ensuring the country's borders remain secure,' he stated. Earlier, Adzli attended a ceremony marking his official appointment as Kedah police chief, promoted to Commissioner of Police. Perlis deputy police chief SAC Baderulhisham Baharudin was also appointed as Kedah's new deputy police chief, rising to Deputy Commissioner of Police. - Bernama
