Kelantan police launch investigations into activist controversy and Rohingya refugee robbery

Following a widely shared online controversy, Kelantan authorities have filed two investigation papers covering the activist issue and a robbery tied to a Rohingya refugee. Police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat indicated the probes fall under Sections 341, 268 and 395 of the Penal Code. Two Malaysian suspects were taken into custody to assist with the robbery case.

The activist, detained the previous afternoon alongside 12 individuals, was freed at noon, drawing about 50 supporters to the police headquarters. Yusoff reiterated the Home Minister's data on criminal cases involving Myanmar refugees and explained the Refugee Registration Document aims to record identities and biometric data for security vetting. He urged the public to avoid spreading unverified information while investigations continue.
