PETALING JAYA: The man wanted in connection with a sodomy case involving a foreign national was arrested by the police in Perak today.
District police chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Ja'afar said the 37-year-old suspect was arrested at 11.45am in Ipoh.
"The suspect has been brought back to the Petaling Jaya district police headquarters. We will apply for a remand order against him," he said, adding that the arrest was carried out with the assistance of a team from the Selangor police force.
The case came to light after the 25-year-old victim lodged a police report at 9.57 pm last Friday.
The victim claimed that the suspect had invited him to his condominium unit for a chat at about 5pm on July 4.
They initially started talking in the corridor before entering the suspect's unit. As soon as he entered, the victim claimed that the suspect began undressing him and groping his private parts.
The victim said he did not scream as he did not want the neighbours to hear or see anything that would humiliate him. He claimed he was then sodomised.
