POLICE are looking for a Bangladeshi man for allegedly molesting a five-year-old girl at a curtain shop in Nilai on Wednesday.

Nilai district police chief Mohd Nor Marzukee Besar said the suspect, identified as Alam, is believed to have fled based after a raid at his home turned up empty.

“Police received a report from the victim’s mother on Wednesday at 11.30pm, claiming about 10pm on the same day, while she was at home, her five-year-old daughter (victim) had complained of pain at her private parts.

“The victim also told her mother that the perpetrator was known as Alam and the complainant who knows the suspect personally for six years subsequently lodged a police report,” he said in a statement today.

Nor Marzukee said the investigations found that the complainant was an Indonesian citizen who was married to a Chinese Malaysian.

“Investigations also revealed that the scene was a resting section located at the back of the curtain shop where the complainant was working and used as the day bed for the victim,” he said, adding that the case was being investigated under Section 14(d) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act. – Bernama, October 14, 2019.
