The migrant worker who allegedly outraged the modesty of the wife of Genji Buskers vocalist Mustam Mustapa was drunk, says police.

This was related by Dang Wangi police chief ACP Zainol Samah who confirmed that a police report was lodged in relation to the case.

Zainol said he was informed by the Sogo Shopping Complex auxiliary police that the suspect - who is believed to be Nepalese - committed the act while drunk in front of the mall at around 9pm, prior to being knocked out flat by the busker.
