KUALA TERENGGANU: State Criminal Investigation Department chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Hamzah today denied that a boy was abducted while being in a car with his mother, on their way a relative’s house in Marang yesterday.
Some passer-by took video of the event and later shared the video on social media platform, Facebook. The video of the boy being taken away went viral.
