Selangor: A husband and wife have been arrested to assist in the investigation of a cheating case involving an offer of help to reduce the legal charges faced by a comedian in court. Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan stated that the couple, both in their 20s, were apprehended at their home in Salak Tinggi, Sepang, last night.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the man is being remanded for three days, while his wife will be held for four days to aid in the investigation under Section 420 of the Penal Code. Police have already recorded statements from three individuals, including the comedian’s wife, as part of the ongoing investigation.

Earlier reports indicated that a police report was filed on Tuesday by the 33-year-old woman, who claimed to have been defrauded of RM95,180. The loss was attributed to a deceptive offer that promised to assist in reducing the legal charges faced by her husband in court. The investigation into this alleged fraud case is ongoing.
