He said the investigation under Section 435 of the Penal Code was still ongoing.
“We are trying to track down the person responsible.
“Those convicted can be jailed up to 14 years and fined,” he said, adding that those who have information about the incident are urged to contact investigating officer Asst Supt Mohd Azlan Ab Karim at 019-392 7837.
