KUALA LUMPUR – The process of completing an investigation paper on allegations against a well-known preacher has been disrupted due to the spread of obscene videos and messages via Telegram that purportedly involve evidence in the case.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Abd Jalil Hassan said this has delayed the completion of the probe before it is referred to the deputy public prosecutor.

“By right, the individual who spread the videos and messages, claiming them as relevant evidence, should come forward to police and help complete the investigation,” he told a press conference at the Gombak district police headquarters here today.

He said police will soon call in those who spread the videos and messages.

Last month, an investigation paper was opened following claims of sexual harassment committed by the preacher.

Yesterday, police said a probe has been opened over the spread of inappropriate videos and messages in relation to the case under Section 504 of the Penal Code for intentional insult and provocation that could lead to a breach of public peace. – Bernama, September 24, 2021
