A MACC team raided the home of a senior official from the Batu Caves Sri Subramaniar Temple committee and arrested the individual last night.
Malaysiakini understands that several MACC officers arrived at the residence in Kota Damansara at about 7.45pm yesterday, and subsequently picked up the individual for questioning.
When contacted, sources from the MACC and temple confirmed the raid and subsequent arrest.
However, it is unclear whether the anti-graft agency will seek a remand order for the individual.
Meanwhile, The Star reported that MACC had also raided the temple’s office in Batu Caves sometime yesterday evening.
According to the report, the raids were believed to be connected to an issue involving a land deal.
Meanwhile, quoting a MACC source, Bernama reports that a man with a "Tan Sri" title and two other people have been remanded for three days up to Thursday to assist in the investigation into the development of land belonging to the Jalan Bandar Sri Mahamariamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur.
The news agency said Magistrate Nik Muizuddin Nik Muhammad allowed the MACC application to have the trio remanded until Thursday.
The MACC source said the "Tan Sri" was arrested following a raid on his house yesterday evening and a search of the management office of a temple in Batu Caves.
