Police will be calling up Azlan Mohd Lazim to record a statement from him pertaining to a press conference he held yesterday, said deputy inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar.

NONE Azlan, the father of Saiful Bukhari who had accused Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim of having sodomised him (Saiful Bukhari), at the press conference had alleged that his son was part of a conspiracy hatched by someone in the Prime Minister's Department to destroy Anwar's political career.

Anwar was subsequently charged in court with committing sodomy on Saiful Bukhari but was given a discharge not amounting to acquittal at the end of the defence's case. The prosecution has filed an appeal.

205 reports lodged against MP

Khalid was speaking to reporters after launching a crime prevention campaign Kuchai Lama here. Also present were Royal Malaysia Police National Key Result Areas (NKRA) chairman Ayub Yaakob, Kuala Lumpur police chief  Mohmad Salleh and Kuala Lumpur CID chief Ku Chin Wah.

On another matter, Khalid said to date, police had received 205 reports against PKR vice-president Tian Chua for allegedly accusing Umno to be behind the intrusion by Sulu terrorists in Lahad Datu.

He added that Johor police had opened investigation papers on the matter and that the case was being investigated under Section 499 of the Penal Code (Defamation).
