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.
The Star and several other newspapers, as well as online news portals, published several of the report's findings and recommendations several days ago.
The Cabinet agreed Friday to make the Commission's findings public, with copies priced at RM541.60 each.
