A Malaysian man has been arrested over allegations he posed as a security guard to rob a young couple in a car park in Kuala Lumpur before forcing the woman to perform “an indecent act”, police have said.
Wangsa Maju district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohamad Lazim Ismail said a report was lodged on Wednesday after the alleged attack the previous night in Ayer Panas, Setapak, where the 19-year-old woman and her boyfriend were in their car eating burgers and recording a “mukbang challenge” video.
According to Mohamad Lazim, the suspect approached and accused the pair of behaving “indecently” in the vehicle.
“The suspect then took the identity cards of the victim and her boyfriend before forcing the victim to perform an indecent act with him,” he said in a statement on Saturday as quoted by The Star, adding that the alleged perpetrator fled with the couple’s phones.
The suspect, a 24-year-old local man, was arrested on Thursday in Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya, and was remanded for seven days until Wednesday to assist investigations, Mohamad Lazim said.
Police are investigating the case under Section 392 of the Penal Code, which covers robbery, and Section 377C, a provision linked to sexual acts.
