TWELVE police reports have been lodged over a scuffle between students and supporters of former prime minister Najib Razak at a bus stop in Pantai Baru.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Mazlan Lazim said statements from 10 witnesses have been recorded to facilitate investigations under Section 160 of the Penal Code for committing affray.

Police will also act against those who did not comply with the requirements under the Peaceful Assembly Act, he said.

In the 3.45pm incident on Friday, seven students from Universiti Malaya held a silent protest at a bus stop near a restaurant holding a poster.

“This led to provocation and the students were then confronted by a group of Najib’s supporters, resulting in an affray and pulling of the poster held by them,” Mazlan said in a statement yesterday.

All the students were taken to the Pantai police station and had their statements recorded as witnesses before they lodged police reports, he said.

He said anyone with information on the incident should contact senior investigating officer Mohd Firdaus Sharil at 012-3388164, investigating officer Aaron Anthony Doss at 014-9018596 or Kuala Lumpur police hotline 03-2115 9999 or any nearby police station. – Bernama, March 24, 2019.
