Police found a pistol loaded with seven bullets in a toilet at the Shah Alam Stadium on Sunday night, during the Malaysia Cup final between Pahang and Kelantan.

Shah Alam deputy police chief DSP Ruslan Abdullah said police are trying to trace the owner and the motive for bringing the firearm to the stadium.

“We cannot provide any detail now because the case is under investigation,” Ruslan told Bernama in Shah Alam yesterday.

    

It is understood the gun was found by a policeman who he was using the toilet.

Ruslan also said police detained 86 individuals for entering the stadium with fake tickets and all havebeen released on police bail.

“We also detained five other individuals for committing offences, such as lighting flares, firecrackers and hurling bottles.

“These actions not only endangered themselves but also other spectators in the stadiium, including children,” he said, adding that overall the football match final proceeded smoothly.

Ruslan said police stationed 110 officers and 1,482 men inside and outside the stadium, including the car parks and access roads, to ensure stringent security.

Pahang became Malaysia Cup 2013 champion, edging Kelantan 1-0 before 75,000 fans from both sides.

Matias Ruben Conti was the hero for Pahang by nodding home the winner in the 58th minute.
