The police today dismissed as untrue claims that went viral on social media that no action was taken against those involved in the alleged beating and rape of a Nigerian woman on June 4.
Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador said a complete investigation paper had been sent to the deputy public prosecutor's office for further action.
"The decision has been reached to charge those involved under Section 375 and 377(C) of the Penal Code for alleged rape and sodomy," he said after witnessing the handing over of duties of the commercial CID director in Bukit Aman.
Commercial CID deputy director Saiful Azly Kamaruddin took over as Commercial CID acting director from Mohd Zakaria Ahmad who went on mandatory retirement.
Abdul Hamid said a 44-year-old local man was remanded on Tuesday and police were in the midst of tracking three others involved in the alleged rape of the 30-year-old Nigerian woman at a house in Cheras.
"The investigation process took some time as the victim initially refused to have a medical evaluation... but we managed to persuade her and successfully completed the investigation paper," he said.
