Cops awaiting AGC’s instructions on next steps over Kg Sungai Baru incident

KUALA LUMPUR: The police are awaiting further instructions from the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) over the commotion that broke out during an eviction operation in Kampung Sungai Baru here on Sept 11.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus said investigation papers had been completed and submitted to the AGC for further action.

“We have completed our investigation and handed over all evidence to the AGC.

“We are now awaiting instructions on whether or not charges will be brought under Section 353, Section 186 and Section 324 of the Penal Code,” he told a press conference at city police headquarters here on Friday (Oct 3).

Earlier, it was reported that the incident led to Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman being injured when he was struck by a stone during the operation.

He was later taken to Hospital Kuala Lumpur for treatment.

Following the incident, eight individuals were arrested, with more than 60 witnesses, including security personnel, called in to help in the probe.

The eviction exercise was carried out following a court order to demolish structures in the settlement, led by court bailiffs and supported by several government agencies.
