PUTRAJAYA: Truth and justice in the case involving Zara Qairina Mahathir must be pursued strictly within the law and not through speculation on social media, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
The Home Minister said while speculation continues to circulate, investigation into the case had been conducted transparently, with no attempt to cover up any details.
“The pursuit of truth and justice must be based on the law. It cannot depend on what is said outside or on social media platforms.
“Let me state clearly, there is no element of cover-up whatsoever. Every step taken has followed the law and standard operating procedures,” he said at his ministry’s monthly assembly.
He acknowledged that the police were under pressure but insisted that due process must be respected.
Saifuddin also said a post-mortem was conducted by four medical specialists, and the findings had been shared with the family and investigators.
“If there were mistakes, such as missing evidence, those responsible must take accountability. Bukit Aman has already addressed this,” he said.
Saifuddin said police had completed their investigation and the matter was now with the Attorney General’s Chambers.
