He said investigations were being held under Sections 186, 324 and 353 of the Penal Code.
Section 186 deals with obstructing a public servant in the discharge of his duties, while Section 324 involves voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon.

According to Selangor PAS, Zaharuddin was arrested at his home around 1.30am today. It claimed he was detained for speaking out on the evictions of several residents in Kampung Sungai Baru.
A commotion erupted in Kampung Sungai Baru on Thursday when the authorities evicted residents from 37 houses, with 14 homeowners refusing to vacate their homes.
During a standoff between the authorities and residents, Sulizmie was struck on the head by an object flung by one of the protesters. Eleven people, including Zaharuddin, have been arrested in connection with the incident.
