GOMBAK: An argument over spreading false rumours escalated into a fight between two female students at a secondary school here on Thursday, prompting a police investigation.
District police chief Assistant Commissioner Noor Ariffin Mohamad Nasir said the case came to light following a report lodged by a Form Five female student.
“The fight involved female students and preliminary investigations found that only two students were involved in the incident.
“The altercation is believed to have been triggered by provocation, where one party accused the other of spreading false rumours,” he said in a statement today.
He said the case is being investigated under Section 160 of the Penal Code and no arrests have been made so far.
“The investigation will be completed soon and referred to the Deputy Public Prosecutor’s Office for further instructions,” he added.
