SHAH ALAM: Police have received the "order to investigate" (OTI) to probe an actor's alleged assault of his girlfriend.
Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the deputy public prosecutor's office granted the OTI.
He said this after launching a talk for special needs children at the state police headquarters on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Petaling Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Ja'afar said they have already contacted the actor but have yet to receive a response.
Shahrulnizam said they will track the actor's whereabouts.
It was previously reported that police would apply for an OTI to quiz the actor over the alleged assault.
Earlier this week, it was reported that a 25-year-old woman was allegedly beaten up by her boyfriend, an actor, after a misunderstanding.
The incident allegedly took place in the wee hours of Sunday morning in Ara Damansara.
A police report was lodged at 6pm on the same day.
