Police station chief nabbed while partying suspended from duty

A police station chief arrested for allegedly having a party at his own police station in the Kajang district on Tuesday has been suspended from duty effective today.

Bukit Aman Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS) director Azri Ahmad said action was taken after the sub-inspector tested positive for ganja, adding that he had been remanded for two days to assist in the investigation.

Azri said the remaining seven individuals – three policemen and four civilians –detained in the police raid had been released on bail.

“JIPS is still conducting further investigations on the misconduct and indiscipline of the police personnel involved while the others have been handed over to the relevant divisions for further investigation and action,” he told Bernama today.

On Tuesday, four policemen – the sub-inspector, two corporals and a support corporal – along with four women were arrested while partying in a special room at the police station in a raid at about 6pm.

Police also confiscated several bottles of liquid suspected to be ketum juice, liquor, speakers, disco lights, a microphone and a television.
