GEORGE TOWN: Police will call several eye witnesses, including M Satees, who is the former special aide to Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy, to investigate the case where a man was alleged to have caused hurt to a female
officer at the Chief Minister’s Office.
Timur Laut police chief ACP Gan Kong Meng said the 24-year-old female officer had lodged a police report alleging that she had sustained injuries after being slapped in the face by the man.
The incident, which took place in Jalan Tun Syed Sheikh Barakbah at the Esplanade here yesterday, was believed to have been caused by misunderstanding.
Gan said the case was being investigated under Section 323 of the Penal Code and the police had ruled out political motives.
Satees was reported to have resigned from the post after the incident. — Bernama
