Police say they were unable to record a statement from an individual known as “Mr H” yesterday because the latter was ill, said Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain.

“He was initially scheduled to provide a statement at Presint 11 police station in Putrajaya at 5.30pm but did not turn up because he was sick.

“Therefore, a new date (to record the statement) will be announced later,” he told Bernama yesterday.

Razarudin (above) added that the police have recorded statements from three individuals to assist in the investigation over a viral video involving former Community Communications Department (J-Kom) director-general Mohammad Agus Yusoff.

Recently, a three-minute video clip showing an online conversation between a man allegedly resembling Agus and another individual went viral on social media.

Agus, at his press conference last Friday, claimed that the video was doctored and had lodged a police report on the matter.
