"Preliminary investigation found that the video was shot at Masjid Terapung in Tanjung Bungah. The first police report was received on July 27," he told reporters here, today.

The video has angered the public for allegedly insulting Islam.
Meanwhile, Timur Laut Police chief ACP Mior Faridalatrash Wahid said the four men in the video had angered Muslims for tarnishing the image of the mosque.
