According to the first charge, the accused, along with others still at large, allegedly caused grievous hurt to the victim at around 11pm.
They were charged under Section 325 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the same Code, which provides a jail term of up to seven years and a fine if convicted.

The court set bail at RM2,500 for the first charge and RM2,000 for the second charge for each accused, with one surety each, and fixed June 16 for case mention.

SEPANG: Police raided five premises suspected of conducting illegal Bitcoin mining activities during a special operation on the cryptocurrency mining machines here on Friday. Sepang district police chief ACP Norhizam Bahaman said five separate teams conducted the raids simultaneously, between 10am and 7pm, on three premises in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi and two in Putra Perdana. He said the investigation was initiated by him a few months ago in addition to complaints from the public. The special operation also involved a special team from the Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) headquarters in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. Preliminary investigations found that each premises could generate profits of around RM15,000 to RM20,000 per month through illegal bitcoin mining. "We were informed that a syndicate had stolen electricity supply to carry out the Bitcoin mining activities, with losses to TNB amounting to RM86,089 a month," he said in a press conference here today. He said the total losses incurred by TNB in the Sepang area from January to this month are estimated to be around RM516,534. Norhizam said that as a result of the raids, 143 Bitcoin mining machines and items used for that activity, worth more than RM171,600, were seized. The police have arrested four local men, aged between 20 and 40 years old, who acted as guards of the premises, on one of the premises in Putra Perdana. He said all the men were remanded for three days starting last Saturday to assist in the investigation. He said all the suspects do not have any criminal records and his team has opened five investigation papers under Section 427 of the Penal Code and Section 37(1) of the Electricity Supply Act 1990. "If convicted, the suspects may face a penalty under Section 427 of the Penal Code, which is imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or a fine or both. "Meanwhile, under Section 37 (1) of the Electricity Supply Act 1990, a fine not exceeding RM100,000 or imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years or both may be imposed," he also said.
