Police officers involved in the fatal shooting of three men in Durian Tunggal, Malacca, have been removed from active duty amid ongoing investigations, Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) director M Kumar said.

“This is in line with the Attorney-General Chambers’ view that although the case is classified under Section 302 of the Penal Code, the police must first establish elements of misconduct before any further action can be taken,” he told a press conference.
