NIBONG TEBAL: The investigation into the leaked report on Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin's murder is ongoing, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution today.
He said police had yesterday received a report on it.
"Secondly is the family's fear for their safety.
"I have said (yesterday) that if that happened, they should immediately lodge a report.
"At the same time, the police investigation is ongoing."
He said this after a gathering with the Indian community in Sungai Bakap here.
It was reported that a whistle-blower Telegram group had posted what it claimed was a record of statements taken by police from Zayn Rayyan's parents, Zaim Ikhwan Zahari and Ismanira Abdul Manaf.
Asked about efforts taken to block the Telegram group, Saifuddin said: "Ask Fahmi" (Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil).
Yesterday, Saifuddin said Zayn Rayyan's family should lodge a report if they felt threatened following allegations of a leak of the investigation report into the boy's murder.
A lawyer representing Zayn Rayyan's father had reportedly advised his clients to seek additional police protection.
