The crime took place at a factory in Kuantan between March 28 and July 13. The case was handled by deputy public prosecutor B Deevagaran Naidu, and both accused were represented by lawyers from the National Legal Aid Foundation. Their defence lawyers expressed regret for their actions and promised not to repeat the offence, while Deevagaran proposed an appropriate sentence based on the offences committed.
