'Datuk Seri' caught on camera punching restaurant owner

A restaurateur, who was purportedly assaulted by a businessperson with a "Datuk Seri" title and a group of men over a dispute on Facebook, has claimed that police have not arrested the suspects despite the incident being captured on CCTV.

However, Wangsa Maju district police chief Rajab Ahad Ismail said the case involved numerous witnesses and cannot be rushed.

“We will arrest and charge him (Datuk Seri) soon. The investigation papers are almost completed,” he told Malaysiakini this afternoon.

Rajab said the case is being investigated under Sections 323 and 506 of the Penal Code.

According to the report sighted by Malaysiakini, the complainant said he sustained injuries on his neck and face.
