SHAH ALAM, July 13 — The police have confirmed that an inquiry paper has been opened to identify any criminal offence linked to the eHATI marriage motivation programme.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said several witnesses will be called soon to obtain confirmation, including the use of water that allegedly caused hallucinations.
"Currently, information has only been obtained from third parties, and the police will call up any individual involved to prove whether criminal offences exist.
"As such, the police will open an investigation paper to secure direct statements and confirmation about the use of certain water or other offences under the Penal Code,” he said when contacted today.
Hussein added that the police are working with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais), according to their jurisdiction, to obtain vital facts about the allegations against eHATI.
Earlier, Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari asked Jais to look into allegations of immoral activities occurring during the organisation of eHATI programmes at a convention centre.
In response, Jais director Datuk Mohd Shahzihan Ahmad said the case is being investigated under Section 7 of the Syariah Criminal Offences (Selangor) Enactment 1995.
