Two Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) personnel lodged police reports here today, over injuries sustained at the Sungai Wangi Unit Detention Room in Sitiawan, Perak.
Perak police chief Datuk Hasnan Hassan said the duo, both 30, had abdominal injuries and were currently treated at the Manjung Hospital.
Confirming the two reports lodged, he said the cases would be investigated under Section 325/506 of the Penal Code to determine whether the incidents took place at the detention room while under custody or outside.
He said two RMN personnel aged 29 and 37 had been detained to facilitate investigations into the two reports.
"We are also checking if other RMN personnel were involved in similar incidents," said Hasnan, who declined to divulge details to reporters when attending a state-level Warriors Day celebration here.
