JOHOR BARU – The list of police personnel alleged to be involved in various organised crime syndicates, which went viral on social media, has nothing to do with the “Nicky Gang” case, said Johor police chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay.

He said investigation on the matter has been carried out and it was found that the personnel listed are not involved in the case he is handling.

“They are not linked to the case for now, but I am not sure if they are involved in other cases.

“Of late, news on the police is being shared and has gone viral. Just ignore it,” he said when met by reporters at a Ramadan programme at Jannatul Firdaus Mosque in Taman Molek here today.

Since Tuesday, a list of police personnel attached to Bukit Aman Anti-Vice, Gambling and Secret Societies Division, who are said to be involved in abuse of power and protecting, abetting, conspiring and accepting bribes from various organised syndicates, has been making its rounds on social media. 

However, questions have been raised if those listed were among the officers being tracked down for their involvement with Nicky Gang. – Bernama, April 17, 2021
