Superintendent Nixon Joshua Ali of the Bintulu police district stated that the seven suspects were apprehended by the Criminal Investigation Department and held for further investigation. Preliminary findings indicate the incident originated from a misunderstanding following a vehicle accident, not gangsterism. The case falls under Section 147 of the Penal Code, which governs rioting. If convicted, the men could face up to two years in jail, a fine, or both.
