Police resubmit investigation paper to DPP on doctor's alleged indecent acts
Acting state police chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said that the investigation paper submitted to the Deputy Public Prosecutor's (DPP) office includes the Forensic Department's chemical analysis report as required by the DPP.
"The latest investigation paper involves three cases reported in Timur Laut, where the doctor allegedly behaved indecently towards female patients. We are currently awaiting further instructions from the DPP," he told reporters after the disposal of drug case items here on Monday (Aug 4).
In another case involving the same suspect reported in Barat Daya, Mohd Alwi said the investigation has been completed and would be referred to the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Legal Division before being submitted to the DPP.
Mohd Alwi said that the 43-year-old doctor is being investigated for three incidents in Timur Laut, which allegedly occurred between February and March this year, while the fourth case, involving an allegation of molestation, was reported on July 21 in Barat Daya.
For the three cases in Timur Laut, police have opened investigation papers under Section 509 of the Penal Code, and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955.
The case reported in Barat Daya is being investigated under Section 354 of the Penal Code.
In a separate development, Mohd Alwi said that police are awaiting further instructions from the DPP's office regarding the case of a man with the title 'Datuk Seri' suspected of injuring a female sales assistant with an object resembling a pistol grip, in an incident on Jalan Kelawai, George Town, on June 1.
He said that the investigation into the case has been completed, and the investigation paper was submitted to the DPP office about a month ago, for further action.
A 41-year-old local man was arrested at 9.30 am on June 3, after surrendering himself at the Timur Laut police headquarters, following a police report lodged by the 28-year-old female victim.
The incident, which occurred at around 2.20am, is believed to be due to a road dispute. - Bernama
