KUALA TERENGGANU:
Inspector-General of Police Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani has given an assurance that investigations into two recent cases involving several police personnel in alleged criminal activities will be carried out in a transparent manner.

He said the investigations by a special team from Bukit Aman will not take into account the status of those involved, and the law will be enforced against them if they are found guilty.

The two cases are a murder allegedly involving eight police officers in Tawau, Sabah, and an illegal organisation activity linking several personnel in Dungun, Terengganu. He did not disclose the number of officers involved.

“If they are involved, legal action will be taken,” Acryl Sani told reporters after the opening of the Royal Malaysia Police Equestrian Endurance Championship at the Terengganu International Endurance Park in Setiu today.

Eight police officers, four with senior ranking, have been remanded for seven days to facilitate investigations into a murder case under Section 302 of the Penal Code in Tawau.

Several individuals, including police officers and personnel, have also been arrested on suspicion of being involved in an illegal organisation in Dungun.
