THE remand of a former diplomat’s son held in connection with ganja cultivation in Janda Baik, Bentong, has been extended by five days, Bentong police chief Zaiham Mohd Kahar said.
In a statement, he said the first remand order expired today and the magistrate extended it until June 4.
On May 24, Pahang police chief Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf confirmed that the 78-year-old former diplomat was arrested on May 21 on suspicion of cultivating 102 cannabis plants in a village in Janda Baik.
Police subsequently arrested his 53-year-old son in Shah Alam, Selangor on May 23.
The former diplomat was released on May 28 after Bentong Magistrate’s Court denied an extension to his remand order. – Bernama, May 30, 2022.
