KUALA PILAH:
A 38-year-old immigration officer pleaded not guilty in the magistrates’ court here today to a charge of robbing a Pakistani national in Rembau on July 11.
Nazrul Yassin entered the plea after the charge was read before magistrate Yusna Khadijah Yusop.
He was accused of robbing the victim of a mobile phone, passport, RM440 in cash, and RM210 from the victim’s TnG eWallet at 6.10pm in Kampung Miku Pindah.
He was charged under Section 392 of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum jail term of 14 years, and may involve a fine or caning upon conviction.
The court denied bail and set Aug 14 for mention at the Kuala Pilah sessions court.
Deputy public prosecutor Goh Hsiao Tung appeared for the prosecution while Nazrul was unrepresented.
