GEORGE TOWN, Sept 26 — A policewoman has lodged a police report after several pictures purportedly showing her in various semi-nude poses surfaced on the Internet and smartphone application, whatsApp.
Penang police deputy chief, Datuk A. Thaiveegan said the victim in her 20’s lodged the report yesterday after discovering the pictures were circulated via whatsApp and on social media in the past few days.
“She was alerted of the matter after being informed by a woman colleague,” he told Bernama here today.
He said the police, with the cooperation of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission would conduct a detailed investigation into the case.
“We have not verified whether the pictures were that of the policewoman or otherwise, as there are various possibilities... they may have been altered using the latest technology and so on,” he added.
Thaiveegan said the police would determine the actual motive for circulating the pictures as the policewoman had not been subjected to blackmail. — Bernama
