Cop in alleged ‘lift your blouse case’ relieved of roadblock duties

Bukit Aman says pending the completion of the investigation, the policeman has been transferred to the administrative division.

At a police roadblock in Kuala Lumpur last Friday, a woman claimed one of the policemen sexually harassed her.
KUALA LUMPUR:
A policeman who allegedly sexually harassed a woman driver at a roadblock in Jalan Duta, here, has been put on desk duty.

Bukit Aman Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS) director Zamri Yahya said action has been taken against the policeman in question.

“The initial action taken was relieving him of roadblock duty but he is not suspended from normal duties,” he told Bernama today.

He added that the suspect had been transferred to the administrative division temporarily while the investigation was being conducted.

On Feb 12, a woman claimed in a video clip she shared on her Twitter account that she was pulled over at a roadblock in Jalan Duta and was then sexually harassed by the police personnel on duty.

In the video that went viral, the user claimed that the policeman had accused her of not wearing a bra and threatened to issue her a summons unless she could prove otherwise.
