Authorities in Johor Baru are looking into claims that a police station chief assaulted a member of the public, as a video clip which went viral on social media appears to show, on Friday (Jan 12).
The state police chief Comm Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat said that police came across the 37-second-long video on X (formerly known as Twitter) at 3.11pm Thursday (Jan 11), which was uploaded by an account holder known as CEO of Expose @druglordfxdl.
He stated that the post mentioned the name and position of Sri Gading police station chief Sgt Major Sazalan Yusof as the individual featured in the video.
“The police will investigate this matter thoroughly, and urge members of the public or witnesses to come forward and lodge a report if they have any information to assist the investigation,” he said in a statement on Friday.
He stressed that police would not compromise and would take appropriate legal action.
