IPOH: The police have denied allegations that they roughed up a suspect till he sustained serious injuries in an incident in Seri Manjung, Lumut, which went viral on Twitter.
Manjung district police chief ACP Nor Omar Sappi said they discovered that a 28-second video had been uploaded on Friday by Twitter user @MacSelvam showing two police personnel he alleged were roughing up an individual and causing serious injuries.
"Investigations revealed that the allegations are untrue and baseless. The police vehemently denies roughing up a detained suspect because after he was detained, the suspect was under the control of the police and fully cooperated,” he said in a statement tonight. "When the raid occurred, the suspect escaped by jumping through the first-storey window of the building and sustained injuries to his ankle and he was arrested by the police and brought back to the building for further inspection.
