Police to investigate rob-and-assault case report

GEORGE TOWN (June 27, 2013): A police report lodged by a robbery victim about being allegedly assaulted will finally be thoroughly investigated by the police, after almost a month.

State CID Senior Asst Comm Mazlan Kesah said police will investigate the details of the report, in which the victim, Haidar Ali Kader, who is self-employed, alleged that he was assaulted by a group of teenagers along Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway in Jelutong on May 31.

He added that Haidar's claim is a serious one as the latter strongly alleged that the police did not look into the report that he had made.

"His (Haidar's) allegations are serious. We will thoroughly investigate the matter, " he said at a press conference today.

Mazlan was commenting on claims made by Haidar, 43, who said he was beaten up after he had snapped photographs of a gang of teenagers, using his mobile phone.

Haidar claimed that one of the boys grabbed his sling bag which contained a laptop, two external hard disks and three pen drives, adding that in the incident, he suffered cuts and bruises to his head, hands and legs.

State DAP chairman Chow Kon Yeow's special assistant Lai Hon Meng was also present at today's press conference.

Lai stressed that he will consider bringing up the matter to the Federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman as the police in Penang did not respond to it after almost a month since the incident happened.
