  "account": "Butterworth, October 20 — Police have apprehended six men as part of an investigation into the alleged abuse of an Indonesian woman in Tanjong Sepat, Selangor, following a raid at a commercial establishment in Pusat Perniagaan Oren, Jalan Merbau. ACP Anuar Abdul Rahman, the Seberang Perai Utara district police chief, revealed that the 6.30pm operation was carried out by the Selangor police coordination headquarters (IPK) Criminal Investigation Department (CID) team, with support from the Penang IPK CID team.\n\nThe raid was prompted by an incident on October 16, where the Indonesian woman reportedly sustained burns to her body following alleged abuse by her employer in Jalan Besar Kampung Tumbok, Tanjong Sepat. The victim has since been rescued. As a result, six individuals, including the woman's employer, were detained to aid the ongoing investigation, according to a statement issued by the police.\n\nThe police are continuing their inquiries and the matter is being probed under Section 12 of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 (ATIPSOM) [Act 670]. Following the raid, several videos and photographs purportedly showing a murder at Pusat Perniagaan Oren circulated on social media, sparking public concern.",
