State Criminal Investigation Department chief Dev Kumar said the suspect was arrested at 10.50am today at his house in BDC Stampin here by a Padawan CID team.
Dev Kumar said the suspect had posted a threat against the Sarawak Veterinary Services Department on a Facebook page championing stray dogs.
“The suspect had allegedly incited followers of the Facebook page to set up roadblocks and release the captured stray dogs.
“He also suggested using extreme measures to prevent the operation by the department to capture the strays,” he said in a statement here today.
Dev Kumar said police also seized the mobile phone of the suspect who is currently being detained for further investigation.
He said police were also trying to locate another Facebook user who suggested killing of the personnel involved in the operation to catch stray dogs, adding that her identity had been established.
