KUALA LUMPUR: A Chief of Police Station (OCS) with three members and four women members of the public were arrested after a raid by Bukit Aman Fedeal Police, when they were partying in a special room at the police station headed by him, in the Kajang district here, yesterday afternoon.
The raid was carried out by a team from the Bukit Aman Standards Compliance Integrity Department (JIPS), at 6pm yesterday, after receiving information from the public.
During the raid on the station, some of them were believed to be dancing while having fun with liquor and drinking ketum in a room on the second floor of the station.
The Police officers and women who were detained were dancing and karaoke in a dark room with rotating lights like in a disco.
