Kuala Lumpur police chief Comm Datuk Fadil Marsus said a three-day remand order was obtained against the trio beginning Wednesday (April 8).

He said the suspects were arrested and are being investigated for offences including obstructing a public servant from carrying out his duties, incitement, criminal intimidation and trespass.

“Investigations are ongoing and a remand order has been obtained for the three individuals.

“We are working to complete the investigation as soon as possible before referring the case to the relevant legal authorities,” he told a press conference on Wednesday (April 8).
