The Home Ministry said the police are investigating the case under the Penal Code for using criminal force and illegal assembly.
KUALA LUMPUR: The police are still investigating the brawl between MIC and PKR members that took place outside the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) in May.
The Home Ministry said this in a written reply to PKR MP S Manickavasagam’s question on why the authorities had yet to take action against those responsible for the scuffle.
“The police had taken statements from several witnesses for now,” said the ministry.
On May 2, some 100 PKR members gathered at the PMO to highlight the plight of a 17-year-old youth who was deprived of a blue MyKad.
A group of MIC members also arrived at the scene, and a brawl took place among some of the party members.
Puchong PKR division chief S Murali sustained injuries on his face in the scuffle.
The Home Ministry said that the case was being investigated under Section 352 of the Penal Code for using criminal force.
“We are also probing the case under Section 143 and 147 of the Penal Code for illegal assembly and rioting.
“We will submit the investigation papers to the Attorney-General’s Chambers soon for further action,” said the ministry.
The ministry also assured Manickavasagam that the police would investigate the case without fear or favour.
“Those responsible for causing the ruckus will not escape the long arm of the law.”
