KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) says that the prosecution of five minors in Zara Qairina Mahathir's case was made under Section 507C(1) of the Penal Code because it is related to bullying only and not causing the death of the 13-year-old girl.
The AGC explained that the decision to charge the five teenagers under Section 507C(1) was based on a thorough review of the investigation papers.
