Cops Offered Bribe -- By 'DSP'

In an act of startling foolishness, a suspected gang leader allegedly offered RM200 to an officer at the police headquarters here to secure the release of two men implicated in the recent gang rape of an Indonesian cleaner.

The 51-year-old suspect's stupidity began when he first identified himself to the investigating officer of the rape case as a deputy superintendent from Bukit Aman.

His alleged attempt to bribe police and impersonate an officer lasted less than five minutes at about 5pm on Tuesday. He was thrown into the lock-up.

Selangor CID chief SAC Mohd Adnan Abdullah said investigations revealed:

>> The suspect had a track record of posing twice as a police and government officer.

>> The two men detained in connection with the rape on Dec 23 are his gang members.

Mohd Adnan said: "It was very foolish of the suspect to attempt bribery in the police station. 

It was even more crazy of him to pose as a DSP."

The brazen act unfolded when the man coolly walked into to the police station and asked for the investigating officer by name.

He was taken to the officer's room where he introduced himself as a DSP from the Federal police headquarters.

He then allegedly offered RM200 "officer to officer" to quash the rape case and release his men.

Mohd Adnan said apart from a previous case of impersonating government officers he was also being sought for a cheating case.

The suspects in the gang rape, aged 27 and 29, were arrested on the same day of the incident.

The 27-year-old woman told police she was raped by at least six men at her workplace in Mentari Business Centre in Sunway Mentari.

Mohd Adnan said a manhunt was on for the other men who are believed to members of the same gang.

He said the bribery aspect of the case has been referred to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
