KUALA LUMPUR: Police have opened an investigation paper on 'Inspector Sheila’ for allegedly belittling officers conducting checks on a foreigner driving without a licence along Jalan Ipoh here on Tuesday (Oct 4).
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Fadil Marsus said that during the 9.30 pm incident, the woman accused the officers on duty of not knowing the law, ridiculed their actions and claimed they had threatened the foreign driver.
“While the officers were dealing with the driver, a woman known as Sheila suddenly approached from behind and accused the on-duty police officers of threatening the 34-year-old Pakistani driver.
“The police officers involved lodged a report after the incident, and the case is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant from carrying out their duties, and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act for insulting behaviour,” he said in a statement today.
Earlier, a video uploaded by 'Inspector Sheila’ went viral on social media, where she claimed that police officers had threatened a Pakistani driver during the incident on Tuesday.
'Inspector Sheila’, whose full name is Sheila Sharon Steven Kumar, has been suspended from the police force since June 23, 2023, due to several cases, including for allegedly insulting a police officer and threatening an elderly woman.
