QuickCheck: Was a teen washed like a corpse for attempted theft?

A VIDEO is circulating on social media showing a teen being washed in a burial preparation room after being caught for stealing from a donation box.

Is this true?

Verdict:

TRUE

Daniel Iskandar, 19, was caught attempting to steal the donation box from the Al Islahiah Mosque in Kuang, Rawang by members of the mosque committee.

On the day of the incident (Jan 8) the mosque caretaker found the mosque’s donation box was missing.

Using closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage, it was found that a person had damaged the donation box before dragging and hiding it in the body bathing room.

The caretaker and members of the mosque committee suspected that he lived near the mosque.

After patrolling the area nearby, they came across the individual seen in the CCTV footage and approached him to ask if he had broken into the mosque and stole from the donation box.

The teen admitted that he committed the act, after which the mosque committee members apprehended him and brought him back to the mosque before calling the police.

A video of the teen being bathed in the manner of a corpse by mosque authorities had been since uploaded on social media, where it went viral.
