KUALA LUMPUR – Police today denied claims by pop quartet Dolla that they were stopped by three individuals, believed to be bogus cops, during an incident in Puchong on Tuesday.
Serdang police chief A. Anbalagan in a statement issued here today said contrary to the claims made on the group’s Twitter account, the three individuals were from the police force and carrying out crime prevention rounds in the area.

“The three policemen were carrying out surveillance at entertainment outlets and crime prevention in the Puchong Jaya area. They had introduced themselves as policemen and showed their authority card before requesting for the identity cards of the four women to check if there were any criminal records.
“The policemen moved in to check the women since they were behaving in a suspicious manner by the roadside at 11.30pm. After checking their identity cards, they were allowed to leave the location since there were no records of criminal intent,” he said.
On the group’s Twitter account, Dolla members claimed they were stopped by three individuals, suspected to be bogus cops, while waiting for their transport to go home after a dance class.
Anbalagan urged the Twitter account holder to come forward and assist investigations to determine if there was any offence while police were carrying out their duties. – Bernama, December 23, 2022
