Instagram account alleging information on acid attack verified as fake

Criminal Investigation Department

Without revealing further details, Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said they were monitoring developments in the ongoing investigation into the case.

“We are monitoring (the situation). We do not have the numbers (about how many fake accounts were found) at the moment, as sometimes they are there before disappearing.

“We will seek the assistance of the MCMC (Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission) to assist the police,” he said during a special media conference at Bukit Aman today.

Shuhaily also urged all professional footballers to be vigilant about their personal safety in light of recent attacks against local footballers.

Muhammad Akhyar Abdul Rashid sustained injuries during a mugging near his home in Kuala Terengganu on Thursday (May 2), while Faisal was splashed with acid at a shopping mall in Petaling Jaya on Sunday (May 5), and Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) player Safiq Rahim was attacked by two men on a motorcycle who smashed his car’s rear windscreen with a hammer in Johor Bahru yesterday.

In a separate development, Suhaily said the investigation into the murder of six-year-old Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin is still open, and the police were still looking for new leads.

“The case is still active, waiting (for) new leads. Unfortunately, we did not receive any new leads (at the moment). I know the public is not happy about this,” he said.

Zayn Rayyan, six, was found dead on December 6 last year near a stream around 200 metres from his home at Idaman Apartments, Damansara Damai, Petaling Jaya, after he was reported missing the day before.
