IPOH: Police will carry out a transparent investigation on the alleged rape case of an underage girl involving a cop, says Perak deputy police chief Comm Datuk Azizi Mat Aris.

“There is no such thing as cover-up or so forth. Just like other cases, the investigations are done according to protocol,” he told a press conference in front of the police ``thaneer panthal’’ (refreshment stall) set up for Thaipusam near the Sri Subramaniar Temple in Gunung Cheroh here Thursday (Jan 25).
