POLICE have arrested seven individuals, including the leader of an organisation, following a commotion during the eviction of 26 landowners involving 37 terrace houses in Kampung Sungai Baru.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus said the suspects, all male and aged between 15 and 52, were detained in connection with the incident.
“We arrested the leader of an organisation and several of his members, who were believed to be involved in the scuffle. The case is still under investigation,” he told a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Police Headquarters on Friday night.
Comm Fadil confirmed that three investigation papers have been opened under Sections 186, 353 and 324 of the Penal Code.
"The probes are related to obstructing public servants from carrying out their duties and causing injury to Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman,” he said.
One of the suspects, aged 26, was fined RM1,500 after pleading guilty in court. The remaining six have been remanded for further investigation.
“We are also tracking down several more individuals involved in the incident. Checks showed those arrested did not reside in Kampung Sungai Baru, and we believe they are linked to the protest against the eviction operation,” he added.
Comm Fadil said ACP Sulizmie was in stable condition and currently receiving treatment.
“The public is urged to come forward with any information or video recordings related to the incident to assist police investigations,” he said. - September 13, 2025
