  "summary": "The investigation papers into the death of detainee Noorizwan Zulkefly at Cheras police headquarters will be referred to the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) on Wednesday for further action. Noorizwan, 42, was detained in connection with various cases under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, Penal Code, and other sections. He was referred to Canselor Tuanku Muhriz Hospital for treatment and was pronounced dead on October 1. Medical examinations revealed significant physical injuries, which were not self-inflicted. The cause of death is still under investigation. Additionally, a forensic specialist reported being harassed by a group of lawyers, a matter under investigation for criminal intimidation and obstructing a public servant. Police have recorded statements from the doctor, three lawyers, and Noorizwan's family members to aid the investigation. The case has been reclassified as voluntarily causing grievous hurt to extort a confession.",
