Five personnel and a chief inspector from the Pasir Mas district police headquarters have been detained for questioning by the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) for involvement in a bribery case with a trader. Three of them were released later.

The trader allegedly possessed imitation wrist watches and the policemen had asked him for some amount of money to avoid being prosecuted.

The chief inspector, a sergeant and a lance corporal are now facing bribery charges after investigations with the ACA are complete.
