Cops determining Anwar's whereabouts on day of alleged incident

The police are determining the whereabouts of PKR president Anwar Ibrahim on the day he was accused of sexual misconduct, Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador said.

He said the police were told different versions of Anwar's whereabouts by both parties involved.

"Now, the police are trying to determine where (Anwar was on Oct 2, 2018), because one said 'A' and the other said 'B'," Hamid told reporters at the Bukit Aman federal police headquarters in Kuala Lumpur this morning.

"We will continue to work on this," he added.

On Dec 4, Muhammad Yusoff Rawther, who worked as a researcher for Anwar, accused the latter of sexual misconduct.

In his statutory declaration (SD), Yusoff claimed the incident took place on Oct 2, 2018, during the campaign for the Port Dickson by-election.

Anwar has denied the allegation.

The police are probing the case under Section 354 of the Penal Code, which concerns assault or use of criminal force with the intent to outrage a person's modesty.

Yusoff (above) was previously questioned twice, before he was asked to take a polygraph test.

Police have since recorded statements from a total of eight witnesses.

Anwar has been questioned, and the police have visited his Segambut residence as part of their investigation.

Hamid said the polygraph test that Yusoff took last week cannot be cited as evidence in court.

He said the test is used to determine if a statement given to the police is genuine.

"If we find that the individual is speaking the truth, then we will double our efforts in getting the evidence that we have yet to obtain because we (now) trust the person," he said. 

"(We) do not have evidence yet, but we will deliberate and look at whatever aspects that we need to work hard for it," he said.

Up till today, Hamid added, the police have yet to determine if Yusoff was telling the truth.  - Mkini
