Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Fadil Marsus confirmed that authorities are investigating a woman known as “Inspector Sheila” (Sheila Sharon) for allegedly obstructing policemen and making inappropriate remarks while they were carrying out their duties.
The incident occurred outside a pizza restaurant along Jalan Ipoh around 9.30pm yesterday, while policemen were detaining a 34-year-old Pakistani man for driving without a licence.
“While the officer was dealing with the driver, a woman known as Sheila suddenly approached from behind and accused the policeman of threatening the Pakistani man,” Fadil said.
He added that the woman also accused the officer of “not knowing the law” and made remarks that undermined the credibility of the police at the scene.
Following the incident, the officer involved lodged a police report.
“The case is being investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing a public servant from performing their duty, and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 for indecent or insulting behaviour in a public place. Further investigations are ongoing,” he said.
A video posted by Sheila on social media, alleging that the officer had threatened the Pakistani man, went viral prior to the police statement.
Inspector Sheila was previously suspended from duty on June 23, 2023.
