Kelantan CID chief Wan Khairuddin Wan Idris said the 29-year-old officer, attached to the Narcotics Criminal Investigation branch of the Kota Bharu district police headquarters, was previously remanded for four days from Wednesday.

“The extension order was issued today by Kota Bharu court assistant registrar Amni Johari, in accordance with Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code,” he said when contacted today.

Wan Khairuddin said the remand order was extended to enable police to conduct investigations in accordance with Sections 376 and 377C of the Penal Code.

Previously, the officer was accused of forcing a female detainee to perform oral sex and intercourse at the narcotics investigation branch office at the headquarters.

The incident allegedly took place last Saturday (June 5) when the officer conducted an investigation against the victim, who is 27 years old and a divorcee.

The woman, who has two children, was arrested with her former husband during a raid by officers from the narcotics branch.

Following the arrest, the woman and her ex-husband were remanded at the Pengkalan Chepa police station lock-up for seven days until June 11 to assist in the investigation.
