Cops fine-tune investigation papers in alleged royal assault probe
KUANTAN: Police have completed their investigation into the alleged assault of a trader involving a member of the royal family at an entertainment venue here last month. However, district police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu said the investigation papers were being refined in accordance with instructions from the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC). He said the papers were initially submitted to federal police and the A-GC on June 18, but were returned with directions to carry out several additional steps. "The department is taking the necessary action, and once completed, the investigation papers will be resubmitted to the A-GC," he said in a text message today. Meanwhile, Wan Mohd Zahari said that the three individuals detained to assist in the investigation had been released on police bail. He said that statements had been recorded from 14 individuals as part of the ongoing probe into the incident, which allegedly took place at a nightclub on Jalan Gambut on May 8. On June 13, a police report went viral, alleging that a 30-year-old trader was assaulted by a bodyguard and stabbed by a royal figure. The trader is said to have sustained injuries and lodged a police report on June 5. Wan Mohd Zahari said the case is being investigated under Section 324 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt with a weapon, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years' imprisonment, a fine, whipping, or any combination thereof upon conviction. Last year, a member of the royal family was among five individuals jointly charged in a separate case for allegedly assaulting a 44-year-old man with a knife in Kuantan.
