JOHOR police are investigating allegations that a police station chief assaulted a member of the public as seen in a video clip that went viral on social media today. 

State police chief Kamarul Zaman Mamat said police detected the 37-second-long video on X at 3.11pm yesterday, uploaded by someone known as CEO of Expose @druglordfxdl. 

He said the post quoted the name and position of Sri Gading police station chief Sergeant Major Sazalan Yusof as the individual featured in the video. 

“The police will investigate this matter thoroughly and urge members of the public or witnesses to come forward and lodge a report if they have any information to assist the investigation,” he said in a statement today. 

He reiterated that the police would not compromise and would take appropriate legal action. 

The viral video clip showed a man, purportedly the police station chief, yelling and repeatedly slapping and pulling a man’s hair in an undisclosed public place. – Bernama, January 12, 2024.
