Selangor police are investigating vehicle arson and threats in Taman Kinrara, Puchong, with cases filed under mischief and criminal intimidation laws.

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have opened three separate investigation papers following incidents of vehicle arson and criminal threats in the Taman Kinrara residential area in Puchong.

Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the investigations were launched after receiving two reports concerning events at the same location on March 9 and 10.

For the first incident, two investigation papers were opened under Section 427 and Section 506 of the Penal Code for mischief and criminal intimidation.

A separate investigation paper for the second incident was initiated under Section 435 of the Penal Code for mischief by fire involving vehicles.

Shazeli stated that police are conducting detailed investigations from various angles to establish a motive and identify the perpetrators.

He warned the public against speculation or posting provocative remarks that could affect racial harmony and public order.

“Strict action will be taken against any individual found to have violated the law,” he said in a statement.

He urged the public to allow police space to complete the investigation process and called on anyone with information to come forward.

Videos circulating on social media showed three cars belonging to an individual known as Cikgu Chandra being set on fire by unidentified men.

The teacher’s house in Puchong was previously attacked by a group that damaged the windows of his vehicles and residence.
