KUALA LUMPUR:
Police have submitted the investigation paper (IP) involving a religious speaker suspected of raping an underage girl to the deputy public prosecutor’s office.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Azmi Abu Kassim told Bernama the IP was submitted today and that the police would await further instruction.

Azmi was reported to have said on July 28 that the suspect, in his 30s, had been handed over to Perak police after his remand order obtained by Kuala Lumpur police expired a day earlier.

It was reported that the religious speaker was arrested at the Kuala Selangor district police station on July 18. He was said to have known the girl after she contacted him on social media on religious matters.

Four police reports had been lodged against the suspect – two in Selangor and one each in Kuala Lumpur and Perak.
