SEREMBAN (Bernama): Five policemen, comprising three corporals, a lance corporal and a sergeant have been remanded for six days to facilitate investigations into a corruption case.
Special Remand Court assistant registrar Nur Haryatie Mohd Saini issued the remand orders, after allowing an application by the Negri Sembilan Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) here on Sunday (July 15).
All five were detained by the MACC between 2pm and 11.40pm. Four of them were detained at the Negeri Sembilan MACC office after giving their statements, while another was arrested on the main road opposite the Jempol district police headquarters.
