Authorities have detained three individuals linked to a disturbance during the eviction of residents from 37 terrace houses in Kampung Sungai Baru, Kuala Lumpur, on Thursday.
Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail stated that the trio was allegedly involved in a commotion that resulted in Dang Wangi police chief Sulizmie Affendy Sulaiman sustaining a head injury after being struck by a thrown object. According to Bernama, Khalid confirmed that Sulizmie is in stable condition following the incident.
Khalid urged the public to refrain from reacting impulsively to the eviction and to verify information through credible sources. The clash occurred during a tense standoff between residents and police, leaving Sulizmie with a bleeding head wound.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus clarified that the operation was carried out to enforce a court-issued writ of vacant possession for the 37 terrace houses in Kampung Sungai Baru.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail condemned the violence, with Anwar directing authorities to launch an immediate investigation into the incident.
