KOTA BARU: Kelantan police raided a 'gay party' involving over 100 men aged between 20 and 30 at a bungalow in Kemumin in mid-June.
Kelantan Police Chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said the raid was conducted at 1 am following public information and surveillance by a special team.
"When we arrived at the bungalow, there were only about 20 men left.
"Initial investigations revealed they had not yet engaged in any sexual activities, but preparations were underway," he said at a press conference after officiating the Monthly Assembly at the Kelantan Police Contingent Headquarters on Thursday (July 17).
He stated that further inspection of the bungalow uncovered hundreds of condoms and HIV-related drugs.
He added that questioning revealed they admitted to being part of the gay community and organising the event for free, promoted via social media.
"Three individuals were found in possession of homosexual pornographic material and are being investigated under Section 292 of the Penal Code.
"Meanwhile, statements were taken from the others. Some admitted to offering same-sex services and being HIV0positive. Among them were also civil servants," he said.
He emphasised that Kelantan police take this matter seriously and will continue to monitor the group's activities.
