  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — High-performance transformation coach Syed Mohammad Murad Syed Naseem, commonly known as Coach Murad or Murad Zaidi, is seeking clarification on who orchestrated Instagram threats against social media influencer Caprice and his family, following a police decision to halt further action against him. His attorney, Aizzat Mustafa, stated that Coach Murad was initially connected to the account \"jefri_yayan\" but was later informed by the police that no additional action would be taken against him, resulting in a No Further Action (NFA) classification. However, the police's written response dated Sept 18 revealed that the case remained open and under investigation. \"On July 11 last year, Coach Murad Zaidi was apprehended in relation to the investigation. His mobile device was confiscated, his home was searched, and several individuals associated with him were called upon to assist in the investigation,\" Aizzat explained. Police informed Coach Murad on Nov 26 that the matter against him had been classified as NFA, after which his phone was returned. The lawyer stressed that his client consistently denied involvement in the account and cooperated fully with the police investigation. This matter dates back to July 7 last year, when the account allegedly posted comments containing death threats and references to bullets concerning Caprice and his family members. Aizzat noted that the latest update raised two crucial questions: who was truly behind the account, and why the investigation remained unresolved over a year after the initial reports of threats. \"The alleged threats were met with considerable seriousness and urgency from the start. Within days, Coach Murad was arrested, his phone was seized, his residence was searched, and individuals connected to him were called in for investigation,\" Aizzat recalled. More than a year has now passed, and despite the police confirming that further action against Coach Murad was classified as NFA, the underlying case remains under investigation. \"In this situation, my client is entitled to inquire about the progress made in identifying the actual individual behind the account and the reason for the extended period it has taken to reach a conclusion,\" Aizzat said. He emphasized that Coach Murad was not accusing the police of abandoning the investigation. \"PDRM has explicitly confirmed that the matter remains under investigation. What Coach Murad seeks is clarity on the investigation's progress and ultimately the identity of the person responsible for the account and the alleged threats,\" he added. Aizzat also questioned Caprice's current position, including whether he still believes Coach Murad was behind the account and if he has received any additional information from PDRM regarding the actual operator. The allegations had serious consequences for his client, affecting his reputation. Now that further action against him has been classified as NFA, Coach Murad wants the public record to accurately reflect that position. Coach Murad has consistently denied being behind the account and lodged police reports over the matter from the outset. \"My client is not seeking confidential information that may jeopardize an ongoing investigation. He simply wants an investigation that began with considerable urgency over a year ago to reach a proper conclusion and for the actual person responsible for the alleged threats to be identified,\" Aizzat concluded. He expressed hope that the investigation would be concluded without further delay to finally clear the matter for all parties involved.",
