KLANG:
The remand order against 18 people, including 13 students, has been extended for another three days beginning tomorrow to facilitate investigation into their involvement in a secret society called Gang 24.

The order was issued by magistrate Nor Asma Ahmad today.

The suspects, aged between 16 and 25, who were represented by lawyer Gerard Lazarus, have been in remand for four days, with the order expiring today.

Besides the students, others include mechanics and security guards.

They were arrested after videos of a group causing a ruckus in front of a school in Klang went viral on social media recently.

Meanwhile, 11 other students, aged between 15 and 16, who were arrested last Friday over the same case, have been released.

At the court today, a commotion broke out when family members of the suspects attempted to prevent media members from covering the case.
