KUALA LUMPUR: Police have postponed the process to record a statement from 'Mr H' over a lewd viral video involving a person resembling former Community Communications (J-KOM) Department director-general Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff because the man was unwell.
Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain confirmed the matter.
"He did not turn up because he was sick. A new date (to record the statement) will be announced later," he was quoted by Bernama as saying last night.
'Mr H' was scheduled to provide a statement to the police at the Presint 11 police station in Putrajaya at 5.30pm.
Earlier, more than 20 media personnel gathered at the police station, anticipating the appearance of 'Mr H'.
They were waiting outside the station at 4.30pm and left about 8.30pm.
To date, police have recorded statements from three witnesses under Section 112 of the Criminal Procedure Code and said that more would be called up to aid in the investigation.
Recently, a three-minute-long video clip showing an online conversation between a man allegedly resembling Agus and another individual went viral on social media.
The J-KOM staff involved in the viral video with Agus had claimed that he was directed by a superior officer referred to as 'Mr H' to record a conversation with the former D-G.
He claimed the content of the circulated video on social media differed from the actual conversation he recorded.
