Police to probe viral allegations of misconduct

KUALA LUMPUR: The police will conduct an internal investigation into allegations of misconduct by police personnel while conducting a roadblock at the Mines junction at Sunday noon (March 23) that went viral.

Serdang district police chief ACP AA Anbalagan said the investigation would review whether misconduct or any breach in roadblock guidelines occurred.

“Investigations are being conducted and the Serdang district police headquarters will be uncompromising if misconduct did occur during the roadblock,” he said in a statement here on Sunday.

Anbalagan also advised the public to refrain from speculating about the incident as it could disrupt the investigation.
