PETALING JAYA: Police will continue investigating national footballer Faisal Abdul Halim’s acid attack case even though it has now been classified as needing no further action (NFA).
Bukit Aman criminal investigation department director Shuhaily Zain said the NFA status refers to the arrest of three individuals, as well as other leads, including closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage and a facial sketch distributed by police, which have been found to be unrelated to the case.
“This is the standard operating procedure in any investigation. If an arrest does not contribute to or assist the investigation, the deputy public prosecutor will classify the case as NFA until new developments or information arise,” Bernama quoted him as saying.
