Two cops held over rape claim by foreigner
KUALA LUMPUR: Two policemen have been arrested after a foreigner lodged a report alleging that they had raped her.
The 42-year-old woman claimed that the policemen, who were investigating a suicide case at the budget hotel where she stayed, took her in the police patrol car to a secluded spot in Jalan Pudu before allegedly raping her.
The alleged incident took place between midnight on Monday and early morning yesterday.
City chief police officer Deputy Comm Datuk Muhamad Sabtu Osman, who confirmed the arrest of his two men, said the woman had been sent to the hospital for a medical examination.
“We are investigating the rape allegation. So far there is no evidence yet to suggest she was raped. However, we did recover several items which we believe belong to the alleged victim,” he said.
It is learnt that the woman, who entered the country several days ago with three of her friends, stayed at the budget hotel.
The two policemen went to the hotel to investigate a suicide case when they spotted the alleged victim, who is said to have known the dead victim.
The woman, with the help of a local, sought the help of Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai, who urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation.
