The 1975 left country even before report lodged against them, says Deputy IGP


KUALA LUMPUR: British band The 1975 had already left the country long before the initial report was lodged against them, says the Deputy Inspector-General of Police.

When met at Bukit Aman on Tuesday (July 25), after a sending off ceremony for police athletes, Datuk Seri Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay addressed claims of police inaction to catch the band members after the incident, saying that the first report was lodged at 2pm on July 22, which was hours after the band had flown out of the country.
