PETALING JAYA: Police have acquired closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from the premise where a male customer was allegedly drugged and sodomised by a tattoo artist.
Petaling Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Ja'afar said: "We are in the midst of questioning the suspect.
"Among the things we are focusing on includes identifying the substance allegedly used to make the victim lose consciousness," he said when contacted on Friday.
He said police would also be collecting DNA evidence from the victim to facilitate further investigations.
It was reported that a 24-year-old man claims he was sodomised by a tattoo artist.
The incident on Tuesday allegedly happened when the victim went to the tattoo artist's premises to get a tattoo.
At one point in the 9.30pm incident, the victim lost consciousness while the tattoo artist was working on him.
The victim claimed that the tattoo artist was drawing a flower on the victim's arm, and wiped it with an oily substance, which caused him to pass out.
When the victim regained consciousness, he realised that he was naked.
He believed he was sodomised and lodged a police report before seeking medical treatment.
