Razarudin said she claimed that she tried to escape but was caught and confined again to the house.

"The Investigating officer and personnel from the Taiping police headquarters brought her to the Maahad Sayuti village in Kampung Batu Hampar Dalam.

"She showed the house used by Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings (GISB) followers to confine her before she was sent to her grandmother's home in Kedah," he said.

On Saturday, the IGP had said police had opened an investigation following revelations by Ummu Atiyah that she was wrongfully confined.

He also confirmed that Ummu Atiyah had lodged a police report that she was forced to marry a GISB leader in Turkiye before she was brought to Malaysia and wrongfully confined in Batu Hampar.

Earlier on Sunday, Ummu Atiyah took 30 minutes to show police the location where she claimed she had been detained at a GISB village in Kampung Batu Hampar Dalam.

The 41-year-old arrived wearing a grey kebarung, accompanied by three friends in a Proton X70 SUV, at 2.38pm and departed at 3.07pm Sunday. She was escorted by five police vehicles carrying 10 officers, led by Senior Investigating Officer Asst Supt N. Suder from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Taiping police headquarters.
