The police, since then, have launched a manhunt for the suspect identified as Hafizul Harawi, 38.
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Commissioner Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said police have launched operations to arrest the suspect.
He also warned the public not to approach the suspect or to take the law into their own hands.
