KUALA LUMPUR: A woman detained in connection with the cyberbullying case that led to the alleged suicide of social media influencer A. Rajeswary, also known as "Esha", was released on police bail today.
Sentul police chief Assistant Commissioner Ahmad Sukarno Mohd Zahari said this was after the remand period for the 35-year-old woman ended.
"The female suspect will be released on bail first. There are instructions from the deputy public prosecutor (DPP) to take action, after the investigation papers were referred to the DPP," he said when contacted.
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 was apprehended near Jalan Cempaka 2, Bukit Beruntung Golf Resort, Rawang, at around 1.45am on Monday.
Police have questioned nine people, including some of the victim's family members.
Yesterday, the second suspect linked to this case was detained.
The 44-year-old, known as "Dulal Brothers" on the Internet, was apprehended in Setapak at about 6.30pm on July 10 and subsequently taken to the Sentul police headquarters.
Police initially received a report from a 39-year-old man on Saturday regarding threats made against 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.
