Negri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad stated that police were alerted around 10am today about a viral TikTok video showing an elderly man being abused before his fatal injuries. The incident occurred at a flat in Rasah Jaya, where police launched an investigation in line with Section 302 of the Penal Code. Three suspects, a local man and two women aged 28 to 34, have been arrested. Police recovered a rubber hose, wheelchair, mobile phone, and clothing believed to be used in the assault. A local NGO representative witnessed the viral video and identified the deceased at the hastily conducted funeral, which was halted and the body transferred to a hospital for a post-mortem examination.",
