KUALA LUMPUR – It will be up to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) if further action will be taken against Zulfadzli, popularly known on Twitter as @bumilangit, after police have handed in the investigation paper.

In a brief statement, PDRM secretary Datuk Noorsiah Mohd Saaduddin said that the Classified Criminal Investigation Unit will refer the investigation paper to the AGC as provided in Article 145(3) of the federal constitution. 

She added that the three-day remand ended today.

Zulfadzli was released from police custody this morning and was greeted by a crowd of supporters around 9.48am outside the Dang Wangi district police headquarters here.

Several politicians, including Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh, Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, and PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar, have spoken out against Zulfadzli’s arrest.
