PASIR GUDANG: Police detained a 17-year-old girl and a man after a video of them in a compromising situation went viral yesterday.
The 23-second video was of a 22-year-old man with the girl wearing a Malaysian Red Crescent uniform, in a red Perodua Axia at a parking lot in Taman Kota Masai, here. Both of them were only wearing their T-shirts.

Seri Alam district police chief Superintendent Mohd Sohaimi Ishak said the incident took place at about 3pm on March 29.
"We arrested the 22-year-old man and detained the minor at Taman Johor Jaya and Taman Kota Masai, respectively. Both were picked up within an hour today (Thursday), after the footage was brought to our attention," he said, adding the suspect's red Axia and the T-shirt which were seen in the footage were also seized.
Investigations are underway under Section 377D for indecency, which carries a two-year imprisonment upon conviction.
