Johor Criminal Investigation Department head Azman Ayob said this false information was currently making rounds on social media and WhatsApp.

“The case is still under investigation. No arrest has been made. We will provide an update should there be any development in the case.

“The public should stop disseminating inaccurate information as it can interfere with the ongoing investigation,” he said in a statement here today.

Last night, a 30-year-old man was stabbed before being run over by a car with four men at a petrol station at Jalan Sri Pelangi, Taman Pelangi, here.

The 7.30pm incident happened when the victim, who was with a foreign woman in her 20s, believed to be his wife, was inflating the tyres of his Volkswagen car at the petrol station.
