Probe on private party yet to be completed

SUBANG JAYA: Bukit Aman will hand over investigation papers on the arrest of 17 people at a private party in Puchong to the deputy public prosecutor (DPP) once the investigation is completed, says Datuk Mazlan Mansor.

The Deputy Inspector-General of Police said the investigation was focusing on various offences, particularly those relating to narcotics.

“When all documents and evidence have been completed, we will hand it over to the DPP, ” he said at a press conference after launching Ops Selamat in conjunction with Chinese New Year yesterday.

It was reported that Dengkil assemblyman Adhif Syan Abdullah and several members of two political parties were among 17 people detained in the raid.

According to sources, Adhif, who is the Selangor Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia Youth chief, was picked up in the early hours of Sunday as the party was going on.

Sources said that besides several Bersatu members, the others detained were from PKR.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador, who confirmed the arrests, said that except for one male, 16 of those picked up tested positive for drugs.

“I will not release the names of those detained as the investigation is underway. We are also waiting for the second set of tests on the urine samples, ” he told a press conference at Bukit Aman yesterday.

Abdul Hamid, who declined to confirm if an assemblyman and political party members were among those detained, said police from Brickfields went to the condominium after residents complained of loud noises at about 4.40am.
