PETALING JAYA: An investigating officer from the Ipoh police headquarters’ criminal investigation division denied today that the prosecution of senior police officer Nazri Abdul Razak was expedited due to the case’s prominence on social media.
However, Chua Sze Yuan agreed with defence lawyer Mior Faridalathrash Wahid that tensions were high when Nazri was brought to the Ipoh High Court due to the presence of supporters, the victim’s family and members of the public, necessitating tight police security.
Mior had asked whether the directive to charge Nazri was issued quickly, on Dec 17, 2023, following the incident two days earlier, due to the social media outcry, Bernama reported.
