KUALA LUMPUR: A policewoman known as Inspector Sheila is back in court and charged with obstructing a public servant from performing his official functions.

The police inspector, whose real name is Sheila Sharon Steven Kumar, 37, was brought before Magistrate Aina Azahra Arifin on Wednesday (Nov 12) and charged with voluntarily obstructing a policeman, Lance Corporal Malvinderjit Singh Teerath Singh, 37, from carrying out his patrol duty.

The offence was allegedly committed in front of a restaurant in Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Dang Wangi, here between 8.15pm and 8.30pm on Nov 4.

Sheila Sharon, 37, who has been with the police force for nine years, pleaded not guilty to the charge, framed under Section 186 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum prison sentence of two years or a fine of up to RM10,000 or both, if convicted.

She has been suspended from duty since June 23, 2023, over previous allegations of insulting fellow officers and threatening a senior citizen. – Bernama
