Building manager pleads not guilty to abduction and assault charges
Ramrash faces an abduction charge for allegedly taking the boy from his 43-year-old father, the boy's legal guardian, along a monsoon drain in Taman Seremban Jaya at around 5.30pm on July 13.
He was charged under Section 363 of the Penal Code, which carries a potential jail term of up to seven years and a fine upon conviction.
Deputy public prosecutor Fidha Misjedi informed the court that her team was not offering bail for the abduction charge. However, Ramrash's lawyer, Chrysandy Lai from the Legal Aid Department, requested a low bail, citing that the accused was inebriated at the time of the incident.
Magistrate Saiful Sayothi set bail at RM6,500 with one surety and scheduled the case for remention on Aug 21.
In a separate case, Ramrash also pleaded not guilty to voluntarily causing hurt to his mother at a house in Taman Seremban Jaya on May 13, around 6.30pm. He allegedly injured his mother by twisting her left leg, causing it to swell.
This charge falls under Section 323 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 326A, which can lead to a jail term twice as long as the maximum under Section 323.
Lai informed the court that the victim had agreed to withdraw her police report against Ramrash.
For this charge, Saiful set bail at RM5,000 with one surety and also fixed Aug 21 for remention.
