Neelofa’s family questioned at police station

Stepdad among those who have statements over investigations into Hari Raya gathering.

Neelofa and her family are alleged to have celebrated the first day of Hari Raya together at a house in Pinggir Zaaba, Taman Tun Dr Ismail.
KUALA LUMPUR:
Police have recorded statements from celebrity Neelofa and her family members for allegedly violating the movement control order SOPs during Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

A vehicle carrying the celebrity’s stepfather was seen arriving at the Brickfields district police headquarters (IPD) at 2.51pm before another vehicle, believed to be carrying other family members, arrived at the location.

A check by Bernama found that the vehicles carrying the celebrity and her family members left the Brickfields IPD at around 5.40pm.

The family was alleged to have celebrated the first day of Hari Raya together at a house in Pinggir Zaaba, Taman Tun Dr Ismail here, and a video of their gathering went viral on social media.

Brickfields district police chief Anuar Omar said police have recorded statements from the celebrity and nine other individuals and would conduct further investigation.

Earlier today, Anuar said police have launched an investigation into the case after a police report was lodged over the 26-second video that was uploaded on the Instagram account of the local celebrity’s sister.

“It is believed that the video was removed from the account after it went viral on social media,” he said.

Anuar also advised the public to refrain from making any speculation over the viral video and urged them to comply with all regulations set by the government.

Anyone who violated the SOP including misusing the interstate travel permit could face legal action, he added.
