KUALA LUMPUR: Police have completed investigations into a criminal intimidation case involving the son of a federal minister.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the investigation paper had been handed over to the Deputy Public Prosecutor on Monday for further instructions.
"Our actions show that the police have not and will not compromise with or protect any party involved in an offence.
"We have recorded statements from all parties involved in the case," he said when contacted on Thursday.
He added that the investigation paper had been referred to the DPP on Jan 6 after a police report was lodged by the complainant on Jan 1.
"The DPP has instructed the investigation officer to obtain a report of the pregnancy examination of the woman who is said to have been threatened by the minister's son.
"Initial investigations revealed that the minister's son married the woman in September last year," he said.
Razarudin said they were awaiting verification of the marriage certificate to strengthen the investigation.
"I would like to stress again that the police will not protect anyone involved in an offence, even if it involves a minister or their family.
"The investigation is transparent, and the police will bring those guilty to justice," he said.
Claims that a minister's son threatened a woman who asked him to take responsibility for her pregnancy earlier went viral on social media.
The incident allegedly occurred when the minister's son was talking with the woman and several other witnesses at a house in Telok Air Tawar, Butterworth, Penang, on Dec 24 last year.
The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation.
