Two cops jump off buildings to evade Jais

KUALA LUMPUR: A policeman died while another was seriously injured when they tried to flee from an early morning anti-vice raid at two separate locations.

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

Upon checking, the officers saw a man, lying facedown on the ground floor of the apartment block.

It is believed the man, who was a policeman, was her lover and he had opted to jump out of the window to evade the Jais officers.

He was rushed to Ampang Hospital but died at about 6.45am.

In the second incident, another man, believed to be an auxiliary policeman, suffered injuries after he jumped out of an apartment unit in Taman Puchong Perdana.

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

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

On the case of the policeman in Pandan Perdana, Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Hamzah Alias said the case was classified as sudden death.

“We found no foul play. We received a report but I can’t comment further as the policeman was not assigned to the Ampang district police,” he said.
