  "account": "Police have apprehended two men in connection with an alleged assault near Salak South temple in April, according to Cheras district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Rosdi Daud. The suspects, both in their early 30s, were taken into custody around Razak City Residences on April 9, following a report that a local man in his late 20s had been found unconscious with severe injuries near the temple.\n\nThe victim sustained serious injuries, and investigations revealed that the incident was allegedly the result of an argument between the two individuals. Police checks uncovered that the first suspect had a prior record under Section 354 of the Penal Code for outraging modesty, while the second suspect had two previous drug-related offenses. An iron bracelet believed to have been used in the assault was seized by authorities.\n\nBoth suspects have been remanded for a day to assist in the ongoing investigation under Section 326 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a fine, or whipping upon conviction.",
