Ipoh cops to conduct internal probe over claims of rejected report

IPOH – An individual’s claims that police refused to accept their police report has been referred to the Ipoh district police headquarters’ integrity and standards compliance division for an internal investigation.

Ipoh police chief Yahaya Hassan said in a statement tonight that police welcomed all public feedback.

“The Ipoh district PDRM (Royal Malaysia Police) would like to stress that police have never and will never stop anyone from lodging a police report at any police station nationwide,” he said.

He also advised the public not to speculate on the content of the video for fear it would affect the internal probe or cause public concern.

He said police found a 35-second viral video uploaded by Twitter user @nanmanjoi8715 depicting a man, TikTok user @vikramnaidu4488, claiming that police refused to accept his police report. – Bernama, April 30, 2023
