KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Umno Supreme Council member Datuk Lokman Noor Adam (pic) will be charged in court Thursday (March 28) following a recent incident in which several Universiti Malaya (UM) students were manhandled at a bus stop at Pantai Baru here.
Lokman, who confirmed the matter via his Facebook page, said he received a court summons Wednesday (March 27) and was asked to appear at the Jalan Duta Court Complex at 9 am Thursday.
He said Petaling Jaya Umno chief Datuk Mutalif Abdul Rahim and two other individuals would also be charged with regard to the case.
"It is said I will be charged under Section 323 of the Penal Code, which will be read together with Section 149 of the Penal Code, whereby I allegedly caused injury (to one of the students)," he said.
