KUALA LUMPUR: Statements have been recorded from nine individuals in connection with the cyberbullying case that led to the suicide of a social media influencer.
Sentul district police chief Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Sukarno Mohd Zahari said that among those questioned were some of the victim's family members.
"We are still investigating the whereabouts of another social media account holder sought in connection with the case. We have applied to get the details of the account owner from the Malaysia Communications and Multimedia Commission," he said when contacted today.
It was reported that a woman was arrested to assist in the investigation into the cyberbullying case that allegedly led to the suicide of a 30-year-old activist and social media influencer.
The 35-year-old woman, believed to be a social media influencer, was apprehended near Jalan Cempaka 2, Bukit Beruntung Golf Resort, Rawang, at around 1.45am on Monday.
She has been remanded until July 10 to aid in the investigation.
Police initially received a report from a 39-year-old man on Saturday regarding threats made against the social media influencer, known as Rajeswary (Esha), via TikTok.
Investigations revealed that the incidents occurred at 10.15pm on June 30 and 4.10am on July 1.
The complainant, who was at Lorong Kolam Air 8, Jalan Ipoh, here, alleged seeing two TikTok posts by users Dulal Brothers and Alphaquinnsha that allegedly defamed and threatened Rajeswary.
Both accounts used pictures of Rajeswary in their video backgrounds.
