Shopkeeper charged with hurting wife by pressing knee against her neck
The accused claims trial after the charge is read to him before magistrate Mustaqim Sukarno.
In Batu Pahat, a 49-year-old grocery shopkeeper named Anuar Sharif appeared in magistrates' court and faced charges for allegedly injuring his wife. Sharif pleaded not guilty during the hearing, held on September 17. The alleged incident took place at a home in Tongkang Pechah, where he is accused of causing harm to his 45-year-old wife by pressing his knee against her neck.
Prosecutors cited sections 323 and 326A of the Penal Code, which carry penalties including up to one year in prison, a fine of up to RM2,000, or both. The court granted Sharif bail of RM4,000, with additional conditions that he maintain distance from his wife and report to a police station monthly until the case concludes.
