Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said Selva Kumar, 56, gave his statement to an officer at the KLIA police station and that police would monitor his movements in the country.
It is learnt that Selva Kumar touched down at KLIA at 7.30am.
In reply to Bernama’s question through WhatsApp on whether the former convict could choose to stay at any location in Malaysia except Sabah, Khalid said: “Yes.”
The Sabah government today barred Selva Kumar from entering the state as he was considered a high-risk individual and could potentially pose a danger to the public, especially women and children.
Khalid said as a former convict, Selva Kumar was not required to report himself to any police station and that he was free to move like any other Malaysian citizen.
He said police had also notified the Canadian authority about Selva Kumar’s arrival.
Selva Kumar returned to Malaysia today after having served a 24-year jail term in Canada for 19 counts of sexual assault, 28 counts of administering a drug or noxious substance, 10 counts of various kinds of assault and a dozen other charges, including extortion.
He served out the jail term at the end of last month.
