NIBONG TEBAL: Police have received two reports from a senator and his bodyguard over alleged seditious remarks made by an anonymous caller.
State police chief Datuk Hamzah Ahmad said the 38-year-old senator lodged a report last night after he received a phone call from an unidentified individual, asking if it was true his bodyguard had lodged a report against him for forcing the former to consume pork.
He said the claims were denied by the senator.
"A police report was also lodged by the bodyguard to deny the allegation. Our checks showed there was no such report lodged (by the bodyguard claiming he was forced to eat pork)," he told newsmen at the Seberang Prai Selatan district police headquarters here today.
Hamzah said the case was being probed under Section 500 of the Penal Code for defamation.
"We will request for an order to investigate from the Deputy Public Prosecutor to conduct further investigation," he added.
