KOTA BHARU: A television producer and director has been in custody for two days until tomorrow for an investigation into the alleged sexual abuse of a woman in August.
The pretrial detention order was issued by Magistrate Kamarul Hasyime Rosli at the Kota Bharu Magistrates Court here today.
The 22-year-old suspect, who is also a producer and director of a television drama, arrived in court at 10:30 a.m. M.
Investigations are under way under article 354 of the Penal Code for outraging a person’s modesty, which provides for prison terms of up to 10 years or fines, flogging or two such penalties.
