“There is no issue of us wanting to protect our officers as stressed by Tan Sri IGP. We will never compromise.
“If our officers are charged, we will conduct an investigation. We would never protect any officers,” he said, during a press conference at Bukit Aman police headquarters, here, today.
On Sunday, it was reported that three policemen, aged 26, 30 and 35, were remanded for four days from December 23 to December 26 to assist investigations under Section 380 of the Penal Code.
