KUALA LUMPUR: A suspended policewoman and two others will be summoned for statements by the end of the week over a report lodged by the mother of the late Hindu activist, Rajeswary Appahu.
Sentul police chief Asst Comm Ahmad Sukarno Mohd Zahari confirmed the matter.
“Yes, they will be called in (for statements) this week,” he told reporters.
Previously, SCP Ahmad Sukarno said the three would be summoned by the police following the police report lodged by Rajeswary’s mother.
Puspa Rajagopal, 56, had previously filed reports against several people, stating that they had been confusing the public by discussing the case on social media and were talking badly about her daughter Rajeswary, also known as Esha.
Rajeswary had fallen victim to harassment by a group of people well known for their alleged thuggery on TikTok.
The group allegedly carry out their bullying antics both online and offline.
On July 4, Rajeswary had lodged a police report over threats made against her before her death.
The 30-year-old activist named two individuals in her report lodged at the Dang Wangi police station, alleging that they were cyberbullying her on social media.
Rajeswary was found dead in her apartment a day after she lodged the report.
