IPOH, Jan 25 — The Perak police have assured they will conduct a transparent investigation into the case involving a Form Four girl, who claimed she was raped by a junior police officer with the rank of Sergeant last year.
“We will conduct a transparent investigation following the standard operating procedure, treating this case like any other. Regardless of the subject being a police officer,” said state deputy police chief Datuk Azizi Mat Aris.
He was speaking to the press at the Perak PDRM High Profile Policing programme in conjunction with the state-level Thaipusam celebrations today.
When asked about claims on social media disputing that no arrest has been made in the case, Azizi said the police needed to confirm several things first.
“We will resolve this matter shortly because there are some things that involve investigation; sometimes, they are not straightforward.
“If it is straightforward, we can take further action, ” he said.
Yesterday, the 16-year-old student alleged the incident happened twice in July and October 2023, in the parking area of a supermarket in the Perak Tengah district.
