3 Rohingya men held over alleged sexual offence in Terengganu
KOTA BARU: Police have detained three Rohingya men to assist investigations into an alleged sexual offence involving a person with an intellectual disability in Kemaman, Terengganu.
Kota Bharu police have arrested three Rohingya men in connection with an alleged sexual offence involving a person with intellectual disabilities in Kemaman, Terengganu. The case gained public attention after a video of a crowd gathering outside a flat in Kampung Enjin Gergaji, Chukai, near Kemaman, was shared on TikTok around 8:30 PM last night.
The video sparked public outrage, leading to the arrests. The three men, all in their twenties, were detained following a report received by the police yesterday. So far, the police have arrested three Rohingya men, and investigations are ongoing to identify any additional suspects. The three arrested men have been remanded for five days until August 12.
The police emphasized the need for a thorough investigation, given that the victim has an intellectual disability. The case is being investigated under Section 376 of the Penal Code.
