KUALA LUMPUR: The Magistrate’s Court here has fixed two days from Dec 1 for the trial of the suspended police officer known as Inspector Sheila, charged with obstructing a policeman in front of a restaurant in November last year.

Magistrate Aina Azahra Arifin set the dates after deputy public prosecutor Hench Goh informed the court Monday (May 4) that the representation submitted by Inspector Sheila, whose real name is Sheila Sharon Steven Kumar, 38, had been rejected by the Attorney General’s Chambers.

"A full trial is set for two days on Dec 1 and 2," the magistrate said.
