Cops probing robbery-cum-rape case

PUCHONG: While police are gathering details on the alleged robbery and rape case in Bandar Kinrara here, the video of the alleged crime is rapidly being shared by netizens on social media.

The video was shared nearly 9,000 times just hours after it was uploaded.

At press time, Serdang OCPD Asst Comm Megat Mohamad Aminuddin Megat Alias said he has yet to receive any report on the case.

ACP Megat Mohamad Aminuddin said the police have set up a taskforce to positively identify the victim, suspects and the crime scene.

His response came after pictures of the alleged suspects being handcuffed and led into a black vehicle started cropping up on social media.

Selangor police could not confirm if such arrests were made.

“We hope the victim and the owner of the outlet will come forward to help with our investigations,” he said when contacted.

He urged the public to stop speculating and sharing the video.

Those with information on the crime can channel them to any police station, he added.

Yesterday, the video of the crime, which is believed to have happened on Thursday, went viral.

In the incident, two unidentified individuals are believed to have entered a gambling den with the intention to rob the outlet.

Not satisfied with just robbing the place, the suspects also took turns to rape the cashier in a hidden corner of the outlet.

CCTV footage of the duo taking turns forcing themselves on the victim as well as their pictures have made its rounds via WhatsApp and other social media apps.

The four-minute video also had netizens riled up and calling for the alleged suspects to be severely punished for their crime.
