Cop dies, another seriously injured jumping out of windows to escape khalwat raids

KUALA LUMPUR: A policeman died while another was seriously injured after they attempted to evade detection during early morning anti-vice raids in two separate locations.

During the first incident, several Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) officers raided a fourth-floor apartment unit in Pandan Perdana at about 3am Tuesday and discovered a woman alone in one of the rooms with the window opened.

Upon looking out the window, the officers discovered a man, lying facedown on the ground floor of the apartment.

It is believed that the woman confessed that the man was her lover and he had opted to jump out the window to escape being caught by the Jais officers for khalwat (close proximity).

The policeman was rushed to the Ampang Hospital but died at about 6.45am while receiving treatment.

In the second incident, another policeman, suffered injuries after he too jumped out of an apartment unit in Taman Puchong Perdana and he is in critical condition.

When contacted, Jais director Datuk Haris Kasim confirmed the incidents.

“I cannot elaborate as I have not received the full report of the incidents,” he said.
