PUTATAN: PKR member Fekirie Gobet lodged a police report against Warisan President Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal on Monday over remarks made during a campaign in Batu Sapi.

He claimed Shafie’s statement amounted to contempt of court by disputing ongoing legal proceedings and prematurely declaring Zara Qairina’s case as murder instead of bullying.

Fekirie said such comments risk undermining judicial integrity, influencing investigators, and misleading public perception.

He urged Shafie to stop politicising Zara’s death, accusing him of “building a political palace on her grave and her family’s tears.”
