Three friends charged over parang attacks on two men

Three friends have been charged in two Sessions Courts in George Town for causing grievous hurt to two men using a parang in August. K. Arul Kevin Raj, P. Kuhan, and V. Visnu each pleaded not guilty to the charges, which were framed under Section 326 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34. The trio were represented by lawyer K. Mahendran and Deputy Public Prosecutor Anuarul Hakim Abdul Muen prosecuted.

The court set bail at RM12,000 for each accused with one surety, with the condition that they refrain from disturbing witnesses and surrender their passports to the court. The accused, who earn between RM1,000 and RM1,500 a month, were cooperative and surrendered themselves to the police when contacted.
