KUALA Lumpur police chief Allaudeen Abdul Majid said one of three policemen suspected of kidnapping a Bangladeshi journalist has been interdicted from performing duties while similar action will be considered for the other two officers pending investigation.

“We are awaiting further developments as the case is (also) being investigated by the Selangor police. As for the Kuala Lumpur police, we have taken action by suspending the policeman concerned,” he told reporters after the Kuala Lumpur police monthly assembly at the contingent headquarters today.

It was previously reported that a Bangladeshi journalist claimed to have gone through a harrowing experience after he was kidnapped and tortured for three days by locals claiming to be policemen in a house in Klang, Selangor.

The victim, in his thirties and declined to be identified, said he was beaten, caned, kicked in the stomach and had his hands bound by a group of local men who demanded RM1.9 million if he wanted to be set free. – Bernama, November 30, 2023
