SHAH ALAM – The prosecution has submitted two medical reports on a rape case involving celebrity preacher Da’i Syed, whose real name is Syed Shah Iqmal Syed Mohammad Shaiful, in the sessions court here today.
Deputy public prosecutor Nor Baizura Mohd Saubian said two medical reports – one each from Shah Alam Hospital and Temerloh Hospital in Pahang – had been handed to the defence.
“A chemical report and another medical document from Kajang Hospital have not yet been given but will be submitted soon.”
Counsel Syed Amirul Syed Edros, who is representing Syed Shah Iqmal, confirmed receiving the documents.
The court fixed May 5 for case re-mention.
On December 10, Syed Shah Iqmal, 25, pleaded not guilty to raping a woman, 23, in a room of a condominium in I-City, Section 7, here, at about 11.35pm on September 11, 2019.
He was charged under Section 376 (1) of the Penal Code, which provides for a maximum jail term of 20 years and whipping, if found guilty.
Syed Shah Iqmal was also charged in the Petaling Jaya sessions court for carnal intercourse against the order of nature, and at the magistrates’ court for outraging the modesty of a private college student.
Both charges were allegedly carried out in the accused’s rented room in Damansara Perdana on October 17. – The Vibes, March 16, 2021
