A SPECIAL taskforce has been established by Bukit Aman’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to assume full control of inquiries into the fatal shooting of three suspects who were killed after allegedly attacking police officers in Durian Tunggal, Melaka, last month.
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director Datuk M. Kumar said the move also covers the police reports lodged by the families of the three men, who have expressed dissatisfaction with the way the incident was handled by law enforcement.
He noted that the initial investigation, opened under Section 307 of the Penal Code on 24 November, had been led by the Melaka Contingent Police Headquarters before now being transferred entirely to federal level.
“CID Bukit Aman takes this matter seriously and assures that the investigation will be conducted transparently, fairly and professionally, in accordance with existing laws to ensure that justice is upheld,” he said in a statement.
He further advised the public to refrain from speculation or manipulation of facts that could “disrupt or compromise the integrity of the ongoing investigation.”
Kumar added that anyone with information concerning the case may contact the Bukit Aman JSJ hotline at 019-376 4763.
The incident involved the fatal shooting of three suspected burglars who attacked a police corporal attempting to apprehend them near an oil palm plantation in Durian Tunggal. The group, dubbed the “Geng DT”, comprised two men aged 24 and another aged 29.
They are believed to have been involved in at least 20 break-ins targeting homes and commercial premises since 2024, causing losses amounting to RM1.3 million. - December 4, 2025
