Cops probing Naidu's claim his drink was spiked

IPOH: The police are investigating claims by Pasir Bedamar assemblyman Terence Naidu that his drink was spiked, says Datuk Comm Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay (pic).

The Bukit Aman Narcotics Crime Investigation Department director said anyone could make such claims, and thus proper investigations on the matter are being done.

“We are in the midst of preparing our full report, and samples taken from all involved have been sent to the pathologist as well.

“So the full investigation papers will be handed over to the prosecutions’ office for further action once we get all the related reports,” he told a press conference here Sunday (Jan 16).

Naidu was arrested along with 47 others, including two policemen, on Jan 13 at a nightclub in Prai in Penang.

He is being investigated under Section 15 (1) (a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act.

However, the two-term DAP assemblyman claimed that his drink might have been spiked.

He claimed that he did not take any illegal substance, and he was shocked when told that his urine tested positive, because he does not even smoke.

Naidu, on being released on Jan 14, lodged a police report stating he was exposed to suspicious elements and named an eyewitness to the act.
