Bentong police chief Zaiham Kahar said police received a report about a viral video clip on social media which showed a group of people cooking at the petrol station.

In a Bernama report, Zaiham said initial investigations found that the 50-second video clip was uploaded on Monday by vehicle owners who took part in the gathering.

He said police received complaints that vehicle owners often gather at the petrol station, which he said disturbed public order and caused a nuisance to other motorists passing through.

Zaiham added that police would carry out integrated operations around petrol stations in the area, especially during weekends and public holidays.

The case is being investigated under Section 268 of the Penal Code for causing public nuisance and Section 336 of the Penal Code for endangering life or personal safety.

Zaiham called on those who witnessed the incident to come forward to assist in the probe.
