The investigation paper involving allegations that a member of the Pahang royal family and a group of individuals attacked a man in a horse stable in Kuantan in June has been referred to the deputy public prosecutor.

Pahang police chief Yahaya Othman said his party had completed the investigation paper and was awaiting further instructions from the party concerned.

"The investigation paper has been completed and referred to the DPP for further instructions," he said today.

Previously, Yahaya (above) was reported to have said that the investigation paper had been submitted to the deputy public prosecutor but was returned to him to obtain more details.

On Sept 5, the media reported that a construction and maintenance worker claimed to have been attacked by a group of individuals including a member of the Pahang royal family and it was reported that the victim was injured in the thigh and received several stitches for wounds on the leg.

Pahang Crown Prince Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah responded to the media report, saying that no one is above the law, including the royal family, and he wants the investigation to be carried out promptly, transparently, fairly and firmly without any compromise.
