KUALA LUMPUR: A disabled man pleaded not guilty in the Selayang magistrate’s court here today to a charge of throwing a slipper at a police officer’s head during the Thaipusam festival, earlier this month.

M Krishnan, 57, who appeared in court wearing lock-up attire and carrying a walking stick allegedly committed the offence at the Mariamman Temple in Batu Caves, Selayang, here at 10.20am on February 3.

Deputy public prosecutor Nur Hafizah Rajuni offered bail at RM2,000 with one surety and an additional condition that the accused must report to the nearest police station once a month.

The accused’s counsel, Akmal Jusoh, pleaded for the bail to be reduced on the grounds that his client was a disabled card holder and it was unlikely he would flee.

Magistrate Namirah Hanum Mohamed Albaki allowed bail at RM1,500 with one surety and fixed April 1 for mention.
