SEREMBAN: A policeman has been remanded for four days to assist in an investigation into allegations of soliciting and accepting a RM3,000 bribe from a married couple.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission obtained the remand order from the magistrate's court here on Saturday (Oct 31).
The suspect will remain in custody until Nov 3.
It is understood that the suspect, a man in his 30s, allegedly demanded the bribe in exchange for dropping an investigation into a fight involving members of the couple's family.
The offence was allegedly committed on Oct 29 while the suspect was questioning the couple.
He was detained at about 10pm at a district police headquarters.
Negri Sembilan MACC director Awgkok Ahmad Taufik Putra Awg Ismail confirmed the arrest.
The case is being investigated under Section 17(a) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 for soliciting or receiving gratification.
