On October 11, police apprehended two men after their vehicle collided with others and subsequently evaded authorities in Bukit Antarabangsa. According to prosecutors, Muhammad Putra Zulfaiz Zaidi, 32, and Mohamad Danial Haiqal Kamal Arifin, 21, face multiple charges in Ampang's courts. Both pleaded not guilty to all allegations.
For their role in the high-speed chase, they are charged with obstructing police duties and driving dangerously under the Penal Code, Section 34. This could lead to imprisonment ranging from five to ten years, as well as caning. Additionally, they face charges of obstructing civil servants, possessing dangerous weapons and drugs, and driving with a false registration number under the Road Transport Act. The latter charge also involves allegations of amphetamine and methamphetamine consumption.
Prior to Magistrate Siti Nur Ain, the duo is accused of obstructing Cpl Muhammad Azfar Abdul Rahman and Lance Cpl Muhammad Yashar Hassan. If convicted, they could be sentenced to up to two years in jail or a fine of up to RM10,000. Meanwhile, before Magistrate Tiong Wen Wen, they are jointly charged with driving dangerously and failing to explain the possession of suspicious items, including a machete, sickle, and various tools.
This carries a potential sentence of up to five years in jail and a fine between RM5,000 and RM15,000.
