PUTRAJAYA: The Prime Minister's Department has lodged a police report against several newspapers for publishing the findings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Lingam video clip before they were made public.
It is learnt that a senior official from the department lodged a police report on Friday morning at the Putrajaya police headquarters.
Kuala Lumpur CID chief Senior Asst Comm II Ku Chin Wah confirmed that a report has been lodged but declined to elaborate.
It is also learnt that the police are expected to classify the report under the Official Secrets Act.
