Another man held for allegedly threatening preacher


BUKIT MERTAJAM: Police have arrested another man for allegedly threatening independent preacher Zamri Vinoth.

Penang police chief Datuk Azizee Ismail said the suspect, in his 20s, was detained here on Monday (March 9) night.

"The man has been remanded for one day under Sections 506 and 427 of the Penal Code," he said on Monday.

He said police are tracking down other individuals involved in the incident.

On Sunday (March 8), police arrested a man in his 20s after they received a report from Zamri at the Seberang Perai Tengah police headquarters.

The factory worker, who was remanded for four days in an investigation into mischief causing damage to property and criminal intimidation against Zamri, was released on Sunday night after the court revised his remand period.

Zamri previously uploaded a 19-second video on Facebook showing two men on a motorcycle approaching his vehicle followed by several more men. The vehicle can also be seen colliding with the motorcycle. – Bernama
