POLICE are finalising their investigation papers following the arrest of the child of a former national leader after a quantity of drugs was found in a vehicle on the Sprint Highway on 23 August.

Selangor Police Chief, Datuk Shazeli Kahar, confirmed that the case is still under active investigation.

According to sources, a quantity of heroin was found alongside several items believed to be associated with drug use.

It is understood that the suspect, who is in his twenties, also has a prior criminal record relating to drug offences. - August 26, 2025
