Deputy IGP aims guns at cyber criminals

(The Star) – Police will not hesitate to take action against those who commit crimes in the cyberworld, said Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Bakri Zinin.

He said police will investigate each case thoroughly and if there is evidence of wrongdoing, they will move in swiftly to nab the culprits.

“Be it a cybertrooper (who post seditious content) or anyone who spreads lies online, we will get to the bottom of it ,” added Mohd Bakri.

He said this when asked about a report in a Malay daily which stated that police have identified several suspects allegedly involved in the cybertrooper group called the “Red Bean Army”.

The group had allegedly posted slander online as well as harassed or intimidated segments of the online community that did not support Pakatan Rakyat on some issues.
