Teenage actress’ father in remand for allegedly physically abusing daughter

SHAH ALAM – The father of a local teenage actress has been remanded again over allegations of beating his daughter with a cloth hanger in 2014.

Selangor police chief Datuk Arjunaidi Mohamed said the four-day remand order for the 43-year-old suspect was applied at the magistrates’ court here this morning.

“The investigations will be carried out under Section 31(1)(A) of the Child Act,” he told reporters after officiating the Selangor Police Town Hall programme at the state police headquarters today.

Yesterday, Shah Alam district police chief Mohd Iqbal said the girl’s biological father, who was arrested last week, was referred to the Shah Alam district police headquarters following a report lodged by the victim on September 8.

Police had previously arrested the suspect on September 6 in Kedah after his daughter had lodged a report for sexual assault, neglect and possession of pornographic materials. – Bernama, September 13, 2022
