Twenty alleged gang members were charged in the Johor Bahru Magistrates' Court on Wednesday
00:06
for their suspected involvement in a violent assault that left several people seriously injured.
00:13
On Tuesday, Iskandar Putri District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner M. Kumarasan said the
00:19
suspects, aged between 13 and 46, were arrested during a special Opchantas operation on May 17th
00:26
and 18th. Six of the suspects have prior criminal records, though none tested positive for drug use.
00:32
They face charges under Section 148 of the Penal Code for rioting with weapons and Section 326
00:40
for causing grievous hurt with weapons. The case arose from a report filed by a woman who said
00:46
three of her friends were attacked by a group of men armed with machetes and rattan sticks while
00:51
drinking at a restaurant in Taman Mutiara Emas at about 12.40 a.m. Preliminary investigations
00:58
suggest the incident was driven by revenge between rival groups.
