PETALING JAYA:
Veteran rocker Amy Search has lodged a police report against singer Shila Amzah following her claim that she was attacked by a senior artiste during a concert rehearsal at the Merdeka Stadium in Kuala Lumpur.

Shah Alam police chief Iqbal Ibrahim confirmed that a report from Amy, whose real name is Suhaimi Abdul Rahman, was received last night.

“Yes, a report was lodged, but it was more of a ‘counter report’ and a denial. The case has been referred to the Dang Wangi police headquarters,” he said, according to Berita Harian.

Earlier, Harian Metro reported that Amy had given his statement at the Shah Alam police headquarters yesterday.

This follows an allegation that Amy had scolded Shila during the concert rehearsal last Thursday.

On Friday, Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief Usuf Jan Mohamad said an investigation paper into Shila’s claim had been opened following a report filed by her.

The case is being investigated for criminal intimidation.

Shila, whose full name is Nurshahila Amir Amzah, claimed on Instagram that she was openly attacked in front of crew members during the rehearsal.

Several veteran and popular artistes have been lined up for the concert.
