Police refer case of man accused of provoking crowd at National Day celebrations at Dataran Putrajaya to DPP

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 — The Putrajaya district police have handed over an investigation paper on a man accused of provoking a crowd during National Day celebrations to the Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) for further action, reported BulatuanTV3. Assistant Commissioner Aidi Sham Mohamed, Putrajaya district police chief, stated that the police are awaiting instructions from higher authorities before proceeding with the case.

So far, seven witnesses have been recorded for the investigation, which is linked to a dispute over seats on the day. The 30-year-old suspect, a cook, turned himself in at the Putrajaya district police headquarters early Wednesday morning. Police discovered that he tested positive for THC, a compound associated with cannabis. A video circulating on social media shows the man, wearing an orange-brown shirt, provoking people and pushing members of the public in the waiting area, causing a scuffle in which several individuals fell.
