"The D5 Special Investigation Unit is handling the case.
"We are in the midst of tracking down the Twitter user," he said when contacted on Tuesday (Oct 15).
On Monday, a Twitter user named "Naavin Pillai (@naavinB)" replied to Klang MP Charles Santiago's post on the arrests of two DAP assemblymen allegedly linked to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
"Please vote in Parliament to defund and reduce salary of PDRM, remind them who is boss - Mahathir or 50+ MPs, Misbehaving dogs need to be disciplined," Naavin had said.
