POLICE have completed their investigation into the case of a Form Three student who fell from the third floor of a hostel building at a secondary school in Sabak Bernam, and have now submitted the investigation papers to the State Prosecution Director (PPN) for further action.

Selangor Police Chief, Datuk Shazeli Kahar, confirmed on Sunday that the investigation papers had been referred to the prosecution office for review and legal advice.

“We are awaiting further instructions from the PPN,” he said briefly, declining to elaborate on the findings pending direction from the prosecution.

Earlier reports stated that police had recorded statements from more than 12 individuals, including students, teachers, and hostel wardens. Investigators also gathered several key leads to help determine the cause of the incident.

The investigation included a thorough examination of the scene and a review of closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from around the hostel premises.

The incident occurred on 24 August, when 15-year-old Ahmad Irfan Ahmad Hanafi was seriously injured after falling from the third floor of his school’s hostel building. He was initially treated at Sabak Bernam Hospital before being transferred to Sungai Buloh Hospital for further care.

Police opened an investigation under Section 31(1) of the Child Act 2001. - Sept 7, 2025
