The case is being investigated under Section 307 of the Penal Code (for attempt to murder), read with Section 34 of the Penal Code (each of several persons liable for an act done by all, in like manner as if done by him alone).
ACP Mohd Sohaimi said the case is also being investigated under Section 326 of the Penal Code (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means), to be read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code.
He also reminded the public to refrain from making any speculations or sharing unverified news, which could create misunderstandings and cause unrest in the community.
