A POLICE report has been lodged against the bodyguard of Johor Regent Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim for allegedly assaulting a disabled man yesterday in a hotel.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Shuhaily Zain told a press conference the case was filed under Section 323 of the Penal Code for voluntarily causing hurt.

“There have been no arrests yet so we don’t know why the man was assaulted. Even the disabled man who filed the report was not sure why he was assaulted,” said Shuhaily.

A police report sighted by The Vibes said the disabled man, a Grab driver, was parked at the hotel entrance as Tunku Ismail’s convoy was leaving the property.

It was reported that the man had picked up four men at the hotel before one of the regent’s bodyguards had knocked on his car door and assaulted him.

The 46-year-old man sustained soft tissue injuries and was treated in Kuala Lumpur Hospital.

Police are studying the hotel’s CCTV footage for more information about the incident. – May 29, 2024.
