Activist Released After Expiration of Remand in Bukit Lagi Land Case

Kangar: An activist was released on police bail at 3 pm today, following the expiry of his two-day remand order in connection with a land encroachment case in Bukit Lagi. Kangar police chief ACP Yusharifuddin Mohd Yusop confirmed the release and stated that the investigation concerning the activist has reached a significant milestone.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, two investigation papers, including one concerning seditious content posted on social media related to the demolition of a temple in the area, have been completed. "Both investigation papers have been forwarded to the State Prosecution Director," ACP Yusharifuddin Mohd Yusop mentioned in a brief statement today.
