Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigation Department Deputy Head (Operations and Intelligence), ACP Khairy Ahrasa, when contacted by Bernama, said they were, however, released on police bail after their statements were recorded.
Last Wednesday, Bukit Aman Police Headquarters gave a seven-day grace period to individuals whose photos were published in mainstream media to turn themselves in to help with investigations into the Bersih 3.0 rally. — Bernama
