Two police officers, believed to have beaten and rob a businessman for allegedly carrying drug and for driving a car without a valid road tax last Saturday, were arrested today. Both were police constables aged 25 and 27, from the Damansara police station were arrested after Chia Buang Hing identified them in a parade of six people.

Selangor police chief Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah told reporters at the Petaling Jaya police headquarters, "Police view this case as serious because it concerns abuse of power among policemen and there will be no discrimination (against the accuser) if they are found guilty."

Tun Hisan said the arrest of the police officers, who had served the police for four years, did not mean that they were guilty, but was made after the case was being investigated under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft and Section 323 of the same Code for causing hurt.


Tun Hisan added that the investigation papers had been sent to the public prosecutor for further action, and the two policemen would be remanded from tomorrow.
