The public is warned not to spread rumours about racial riots and fights in the district.
Acting Selangor police chief Datuk A. Thaiveegan today issued a stern warning to those who spread false information about the alleged existence of racial riots and fighting in the area.
He said the rumours spread after an accident and attack on two motorcyclists on Wednesday which resulted in a bloody fight involving two groups at Flat Rebana, Bandar Bukit Raja here on Thursday night.
Following the attack which left seven individuals injured, rumours of revenge motivated racial fights and unrest especially in Meru and Kapar spread like wildfire through SMS and social media.
Thaiveegan said a thorough investigation would be conducted to identify individuals responsible for spreading the rumour and the police has also referred to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for further action.
He said police had picked up five suspects involved in the fight and stationed officers to monitor the area.
In a separate incident, three men were seriously injured after they were attacked by 10 men in an incident at Taman Ismail Sungai Pinang here.
