Seberang Perai Utara district police chief ACP Anuar Abd Rahman confirmed the investigation paper was submitted to the DPP’s office at 2.30 pm today.
He stated the case will now be referred to Putrajaya for further instructions following the DPP’s review.
The 59-year-old hardware shop owner involved in the incident has been released on police bail after his statement was recorded.
