Sarawak CID chief Dev Kumar said today the suspects, including a 53-year-old inspector attached to an administrative department at the Sarawak Police headquarters here, were detained at their homes and work place.
He said the arrests came following police reports made by two individuals in Batu Kawa and Sematan alleging that “this group of rogue policemen” had extorted money from them.
“The other five are policemen of lower ranks, aged between 25 and 32, attached to various units at the Kuching Police headquarters,” he said in a statement here.
The suspects were produced at the Kuching Magistrate’s Court this morning for remand.
