KUALA LUMPUR: Police are looking for a Twitter account holder using the alias ‘‘NURATIKAHROSE”, and a Palestinian man to assist into an investigation over a viral voice recording accusing the police of soliciting bribes at a roadblock at Batu 7, Jalan Gombak Lama here on Wednesday (Nov 10).

Gombak district police chief ACP Zainal Mohamed Mohamed said the account holder uploaded several voice recordings of a Palestinian man claiming that a policeman manning the roadblock had asked for a bribe for failing to show him valid documents.

ACP Zainal Mohamed said anyone with information regarding the incident can call the investigating officer Abdul Aziz Sulaiman at 03-6126 2222/016-7185 750 to assist the investigation. - Bernama
